Laws of Dialectics and the Implementation of Power Relations

Social relations are characterized by the movement of inter- ests and needs of different groups and strata of society, which often come into contradictions. These contradictions are of a dialectical nature, and it is the responsibility of the government to articulate these interests. The purpose of this article is to identify the main contradictions that underlie the three stages of political power relations. To do this, the author relies on the dialectical method, which is used as one of methods of creative thinking in observation and contradictions resolvement. Using the laws of materialistic dialectics, the author observes the key factors through the political and philosophical point of view that should be considered in political and administrative activity.

Health: A business or a universal right

Health is an essential component of human well-being and a fundamental right that must be accessible to everyone, regardless of their origin or social condition. It is recognized as a universal human right, as stipulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. of the United Nations. However, in recent decades, and fundamentally in the stage of the Covid 19 pandemic, it can be seen how it has transformed into a multi-billion-dollar global industry, generating a clear intersection between the right to health and the health economy as a business. The objective is to demonstrate that health is understood as a universal right and this idea must be an awareness fundamentally among people linked to this sector that is so necessary for humanity. The bibliographic review and the historical-logical and dialectical method were used as methodology, allowing us to understand reality through critically analyzing current perceptions. The result was that strategies must be drawn up to ensure that health is a right for everyone without considering race, color, or religion that all humans have the right to health, and that it is sustainable.

Ethics and post-evolution: The role of hyperreal adaptations in shaping popular cultural perceptions of animals

In A Theory of Adaptation, Linda Hutcheon considers Darwinist claims that some animal stories survive more readily than others. Just as natural selection drives evolution, genetic selection and memetic cultural transmission drive the evolution, mutation and flourishing of adaptations in ever-changing narratives and technological environments. In the telling and retelling of stories, it invites a state of hyperreality, where copies of copies are believed to be real. Jean Baudrillard’s concept of hyperreality describes a condition wherein the boundaries between reality and its simulated representations become indistinguishable. He states that ‘[i]t is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality’. In a state of hyperreality, adaptations and representations can assume greater significance and authenticity than the actual reality they depict. Consequently, the simulated experiences and images are perceived as more real and authentic than the tangible reality from which they originate. The hyperreality of film adaptations has been explored through the telling of historical narratives, nation-building and authenticity. Modern adaptations of historical events, especially when delivered through a contemporary lens, have the ability to reshape our understanding of the past. Art and entertainment permeate our consciousness, moulding our identities. Consequently, we become a reflection of what we engage with, and in a dialectical process, we subsequently reshape the world according to our transformed selves. Thus, entertainment facilitates tangible changes in the real world. These are the key ideas examined in this article.

José Ortega y Gasset on Philosophy and Historical Thinking

ABSTRACT The Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset not only emphasized the importance of the Greek tradition as it applies to modern philosophy; he also insisted on demonstrating how it inspired his own philosophical project. He believed the pre-Socratic philosophers, Parmenides and Heraclitus, were the first to develop a rational basis for the thinking process and attempted to show a dynamic continuum of this tradition up to the present. His concern was to protect this heritage from the challenges of scientific positivism and postmodernism. This article will examine five key works by Ortega that deal with the Spanish philosopher’s early concept of la razón vital (vital reason), the development of la razón histórica (historical reason), historical methodology, dialectical thinking, and his understanding of the emergence of philosophy in ancient Greece.

Digital Assets: Classifications and Definition

Researching digital assets can help understand and assess their economic characteristics and differences between various types of assets. It is important for investors, regulators and investigators so that they could make grounded decisions and develop effective strategies. The article analyzes different types of digital assets and their classifications, which sometimes look rather conflicting and studies challenges of legislative nature in the field of regulation of different types of digital assets in Russia. Contradictions between enactments and standpoints of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation were identified. A conclusion was drawn that now there is no generally accepted classification of digital assets and it could hinder their development. The author advanced original classifications of digital assets and made an attempt to define them and show their signs. The article also analyzes terms given to some types of digital assets by international finance organizations. Apart from that the author proposed definitions of digital currency, crypto-asset and crypto-currency. Methodological foundation of the article is formed by dialectic method that allowed the author to identify subjects of research in their interaction, unity and development, methods of formal logics, such as analysis, induction and deduction and theoretical methods, such as structuring and systematization.

COVID-19: A STUDY OF MULTIPROFESSIONAL TEAM STRATEGIES FOR PSYCHOSOCIAL REHABILITATION IN A PSYCHOSOCIAL CARE CENTER

This research investigated the adaptation strategies of the multidisciplinary team of the Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS II) for psychosocial rehabilitation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a qualitative approach and the critical dialectical method, a literature review and semi-structured interviews were carried out. The data were analyzed using Bardin's methodology (1977), processed in the IRAMUTEQ software, and categorized for interpretation. The results showed that the CAPS team implemented strategies focused on psychosocial rehabilitation, highlighting the importance of innovative and adaptable practices in critical moments and in the ongoing routine. The research highlighted the need for robust public policies that support these practices with adequate resources, continuous training, and an institutional environment that promotes creativity and flexibility. Incorporating reinvention into the daily practices of the CAPS, supported by public policies, can prevent setbacks and promote advances in mental health care, benefiting professionals and users. The research highlights the importance of these strategies and the need to discuss mental health and public policies aimed at citizenship for people with mental health problems.

COVID-19 AND THE MENTAL HEALTH OF ELDERLY PEOPLE PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY CENTERS

This study focuses on the importance of elderly people's participation in Community Centers for mental health. In an attempt to understand the subject to be researched, as well as the themes interconnected with this process, including the discussion of concepts necessary for a better understanding of the object, it was necessary to read specific articles in the area of ​​gerontology, mental health, relevant legislation and COVID-19, in addition to topics such as community groups; the recent change that occurred in basic social protection, which was the reorganization of social assistance services; Community Service and Strengthening of Bonds; among others. This research aims to investigate the perceptions of the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of elderly people participating in Community Centers. With a qualitative approach, based on the critical dialectical method, the research included an exploratory literature review and a semi-structured interview with users of eight Community Centers for elderly people, located in the city of Ponta Grossa/PR, totaling sixteen people interviewed of both sexes. To support the organization of the information, the IRAMUTEC software was used to create the textual corpus, construct the word cloud and the similarity tree. The analysis of the results followed the content analysis procedures proposed by Bardin (1977) and then the data were categorized, contemplating three chronological phases: 1) pre-analysis; 2) exploration of the material; 3) treatment of the results, inference and interpretation. Through the analysis of the data, it was possible to capture, with the results in the form of responses, how elderly people participating in the Community Centers had their mental health affected by the consequences left by the COVID-19 pandemic. The interviews were duly authorized by the elderly people, who were also previously informed about the objectives and procedures of the research. It was concluded that Community Centers for the elderly are an extremely important place, which can provide human emancipation, prevent isolation and social exclusion and is also an environment in which participants can interact with each other, share life experiences, in addition to achieving active and healthy aging.

Piaget as Metamodernist

The emerging discourse on metamodernism as an answer to the aporia of postmodernism seems to crystalize more and more into coherent and compelling configurations. Different and to some extent divergent conceptions of metamodernism—such as aesthetic sensibility, structure of feeling, cultural phase, political movement, and philosophical paradigm—have been considered by some to be expressions of a common underlying generative structure: that is, a worldview structure or developmental stage of cultural evolution. In this contribution, I will argue that developmentalism is indeed inherent in metamodern thought and that Piaget’s research program of genetic epistemology presents an early exploration of what might be called the metamodern condition. I will outline how the Piagetian project anticipates the principal themes now associated with metamodernism, such as an overcoming of relativism and particularism; a developmental view on ontology, epistemology, and ethics; a reconciliation of facts and values; a normative perspective on knowledge and validity; a relational view on subject/object and subject/subject interaction; a dialectical thinking that synthesizes opposing views; a reconstruction of developmental principles and construction laws; a depth-hermeneutic interpretation of cultural artifacts; an attitude of sincerity and hopefulness; a commitment for a political mission; a spirituality without religion; and, perhaps most significantly, a return of metanarratives.

Парадоксы жизни святителя Луки Крымского (профессора, доктора медицинских наук, философа В.Ф. Войно-Ясенецкого)

The interest in the spiritual heritage of Crimea is huge. Saint Luke of Crimea (Valentin Feliksovich Voino-Yasenetsky, 1877–1961) presents one of the most intriguing figures in Russian history. As a physician, scholar, philosopher, and theologian, he was canonized as a saint and left behind a significant scientific legacy, despite 11 years of persecution (arrests, exile, camps, prisons), and lost health. Numerous works have been written about Saint Luke, both by theologians and representatives of the scientific community. The saint himself authored twelve volumes of sermons and scholarly treatises on medicine and philosophy. His life path exemplifies an unprecedented act of selfless service to humanity. Professor V.F. Voino-Yasenetsky is regarded as the spiritual patron of military medics in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The aim of this research is to examine the history of his life, revealing the perspectives and worldview of V.F. Voino-Yasenetsky as both a physician and a theologian. In conducting this study, various methods have been employed, including systematic and comparative analysis, principles of historicism, and dialectical reasoning. To facilitate the systematic study of the life and work of Saint Luke, several tables have been created that classify his contributions to medicine and theology, as well as analyze his life trajectory. Furthermore, his iconographic representation as a physician-priest has been explored, alongside key theological works such as “Science and Religion” and “Spirit, Soul, and Body”, alongside his spiritual legacy as articulated in his sermons, wherein he emerges as a genuine patriot. The fate of the Russian intelligentsia has intertwined with the life of this saintly figure, illustrating a profound synthesis of secular intellect and spiritual devotion. This article aims to contribute to the understanding of Saint Luke’s multifaceted identity and enduring influence in both the medical and theological spheres, paving the way for further scientific inquiry into his remarkable life and legacy.

Reframing Powerlessness in the Addiction Recovery Process

Traditionally, addiction has been seen as a loss-of-control issue, marked by a subjective sense of powerlessness. However, a paradoxically positive perception of powerlessness exists, partly rooted in the 12-step program, though its scientific exploration and practical implications remain limited. This phenomenological study examined perceptions and experiences of powerlessness among individuals recovering from substance and behavioral addictions ( n = 31), family members ( n = 9), and therapists ( n = 9). The findings revealed a dialectical process leading to a reframing of powerlessness, with two main themes: (a) negative attributions of powerlessness and (b) the powerlessness reframing process. This study enriches the addiction recovery literature by emphasizing the importance of understanding and leveraging the positive aspects of powerlessness through a Positive Criminology lens. It addresses criticisms of narrow understandings and a lack of awareness of the foundational role of powerlessness in recovery and recommends tailored therapeutic interventions.

Organic Communities, Atomistic Societies and Loneliness

The article distinguishes two models of human organization: the organic community and the atomistic society. It maintains that the organic paradigm stresses (a) the ideal unity of the whole; (b) internal relations; (c) teleological or dialectical processes; (d) co- or inter-dependent members (e. g. the human body or face); (e) a role-orientation; (f) living functions; (g) freedom defined as doing as you should; and (h) qualitative factors prevail. By contrast, the atomistic model emphasizes (a) the value of individual freedom; (b) external relations; (c) mechanical or causal explanations; (d) separate “parts”(e.g. a machine); (e) a rule orientation; (f) formal, legal, or artificial frameworks; (g) freedom defined as doing as you please; and (h) quantitative factors prevail. The article contends that the sense of individual loneliness or alienation experienced is generally much greater in the atomistic society. And since both the American family and its surrounding society are, in the main, atomisticly-structured, it follows that loneliness is more pronounced and prevalent in American society. The article concludes by offering some programmatic ideals and measures to reverse and mitigate the present tendency toward increasing loneliness in the United States.

Essays as “clinical” pedagogy: a Hegelian approach to essay writing

ABSTRACT Current debates in clinical legal education (CLE) exclude essay writing as a legitimate form of “clinical” pedagogy. This article argues that essay writing should be classified as a form of CLE due to its potential to mirror legal practice and enhance students’ reflective capacities. By incorporating Hegelian dialectical reasoning, the paper proposes a structured approach to legal essay writing that includes thesis, antithesis and synthesis. This method encourages students to engage deeply with legal arguments, reflecting on their merits and counterarguments. The dialectical approach aligns with constructivist teaching methodologies, promoting critical thinking and practical skills relevant to legal practice and beyond. The article outlines the theoretical basis of this model and provides a practical framework for its implementation in legal education. It further connects this pedagogical strategy to the development of transferable skills that prepare students for professional legal environments. Through this dialectical method, the paper advocates a more holistic and nuanced understanding of legal concepts, bridging the gap between academic theory and practical application, and, thus, making the case for the incorporation of Hegel-inspired essay writing into the definition of CLE.

Redefining human–nature relations: decolonial perspectives on Inter-American Court environmental jurisprudence

ABSTRACT Debates surrounding environmental protection and its intersection with human rights have gained significant traction in the past decade, coinciding with the advancement of decolonial thought across political, academic and social spheres. These discussions and agendas have become intertwined as humanity faces unprecedented threats to essential global ecosystems while indigenous peoples and traditional black communities, often the primary stewards of the environment, seek emancipation from historical violence. This dynamic struggle between resilience and violence, along with the link between nature and human rights, is also evident within the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Drawing upon decolonial insights and employing a dialectical method, our analysis aims to scrutinize the Court’s jurisprudence to understand its approach concerning the connection between human and environmental rights.

The Internet as an object of study of criminalistics science

Relevance. The Internet acts as an object accumulating a large array of results of user actions in the form of electronic and digital traces, as well as a significant amount of other information that can be used in the investigation of crimes. Given the ongoing growth of attacks in which the global network has become a means of committing them, it is necessary to offer investigative authorities recommendations on using the Internet as a source of necessary information and as a means of solving the tasks of criminal proceedings.The purpose of the research is to determine from which sides and to what extent the Internet manifests itself in those patterns that are the subject of criminalistics science, in order to propose a systematic approach to the use of information resources of the network in solving the tasks of the investigation process. Objectives: to characterize the Internet as a source of electronic digital traces and other criminally significant information; to show that techniques, tools and methods of working with evidence implemented through the Internet are criminalistics; to highlight the features of the Internet as a manifestation of the mechanism of criminal activity and the source of the criminalistic characteristics.Methodology. The methodological basis of the research was the dialectical method of cognition, and a set of general scientific and private scientific research methods (system-structural, formal-logical, predictive, etc.) were also used. Results. Separate theoretical provisions of the methodology of using the Internet in the investigation of crimes have been developed.Conclusion. The Internet, reflecting virtual life, can be represented as one of the sides of the object of criminalistics, acting as a functional side of both criminal and crime detection and investigation activities, and the patterns of the mechanism of various types of crimes that manifest themselves on the network, the emergence and finding of information about the crime and its participants, the possibility of search and obtaining criminally significant information, securing, researching and using it as evidence, as well as the use of the Internet as a means of judicial research and crime prevention, the Internet is an element of the subject of criminalistics science.

JUSTIFICATION OF THE FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING CHANGES AT THE ENTERPRISE

The article provides a rationale for the feasibility of implementing changes at the enterprise. Following crisis phenomena in the economy, actions to achieve short-term, mainly financial goals prevail in organizations. At the same time, worldwide experience shows that companies that focus only on current problems of survival have no guarantee of success in the future, and only those organizations that lay the foundations for this development today, in crisis conditions, will be able to fully develop in the future. For managers of Ukrainian enterprises, mastering the theoretical and practical aspects of change management is especially relevant, since work in the conditions of continuous economic, political and technological changes is accompanied by internal disintegration and the lack of systematicity in the implemented changes. The feasibility of implementing changes at the enterprise was analyzed and provided. The readiness of the organization for changes determines the sufficiency of forces in the organization to carry out changes at present. The main purpose of this article is to improve change management processes in organizations, using organizational support to improve the efficiency of these processes. Research methods: dialectical method of scientific knowledge, structural and logical - for clarifying the essence and content of change management, comparative analysis for grouping criteria for the implementation of successful organizational and economic changes. The practical significance displays a list of strategic changes offered to the enterprise to increase the efficiency of business functioning and a set of approaches to assessing the effectiveness and risks of implementing organizational changes. The proposed triad of elements of a comprehensive assessment of the key success factors of changes in the organization fits well into the model of D. Khayat - the ADKAR model, which allows you to assess the situation and manage changes both at the level of the organization as a whole and a specific employee.
