How do conversational case-based reasoning systems interact with their users: a literature review

ABSTRACT Conversational case-based reasoning (CCBR) systems retrieve past cases that are similar to a current problem by eliciting situation descriptions in interactive dialogues with their users. To find out how such human-machine cooperation is put into practice, the present article reviews the CCBR literature and extracts a list of dialogue principles – interaction techniques by means of which CCBR systems communicate with their users. Seven dialogue principles are identified and explained: mixed initiative, question selection and ordering, dealing with abstraction and expertise, explanations, visualisation and highlighting, dialogue termination, and evaluation support. The results reveal that current CCBR systems already make great efforts to put user needs into the centre of the interaction. At the same time, the current implementation of dialogue principles that adjust CCBR systems to user needs raise questions about who should be in control of these adjustments, what levels of human-computer interaction should be adjusted, and what goals should guide adjustment decisions. Moreover, the present review highlights a number of limitations concerning the methodology and contents of CCBR research, and points out questions for future research on human-computer interaction in CCBR systems.

Discourse in Surat ul-Lail A Study in Textual Semantics

The textual studies are considered the last of the linguistic studies after the structural school which focused on the structure led by de Saussure, and semantics which attempted to focus on determining the semantic dimension of the linguistic value represented by the transformative generative school led by Noam Chomsky, followed by the approach that targeted the linguistic activity, which was founded on the principle of dialogue under the theory of communication (Pragmatics), led by Del Hyms, to finally reach the stage of textual studies, which called for the search for a larger unit of sentence to be a field of study. The text appeared and received great interest from scholars such as Harris, Helmsley, Stumble, Dick Van and others. This paper is an attempt to explore a number of the textual features of Al-Lail Sura and it begins with an introduction which deals with a review of what the modern critical studies say about the text, how these features are included in the miraculous text of this sura which helped in exploring the various textual phenomena in its context. The study begins with the title of the sura, the other features which distinguish this text such as reference, conjunction and elision. The paper then deals with the Qur'anic method of sequence of sentences and events and ends with the last aya (verse) .

Regionalism in the Pacific Rim. The linkages between Latin America and Asia-Pacific (2000–2020)

One of the trends in the construction of the international system in the early 21st century has been the complexity of the regionalism and regionalisation processes in the world. In the case of the Pacific Rim, this set of interactions between governments and civil society organisations (CSO) in Latin America and Asia-Pacific highlights the slowly but surely political-economic dynamism among a representative group of social actors which have promoted these regional cooperation and integration initiatives. The research proposes that the linkages among specific zones on both sides of the Pacific Ocean during the 2000s and the 2010s, has favoured the social construction of an incipient, interconnected and integrated region based on mutual principles of dialogue, consensus, and co-operation. In this sense, the existence of regionalism and regionalisation processes shows the importance of top-down and bottom-up approaches to achieve these goals. And it considers the feasibility in the formation of regional community-building initiatives via inter-regionalism and trans-regionalism in the Pacific Rim.

The paper investigates the basic anthropological and axiological principles of self-organization of education of the future, in particular in Ukraine. It states that such principles can become the basis for successful, effective, sound, and competitive education of Ukrainian citizens. The author shows that the self-organization of successful education is based on such anthropological principles as the principle of creativity, imitation, curiosity, a natural attraction to knowledge, competition. The paper shows that the anthropological principle of creativity is connected with the stated above principles, as well as axiological principles of creative dialogue. It is established that the anthropological principle of curiosity is correlated with voluntariness, which lies in the voluntary desire to acquire knowledge, and is a significant self-organizing motivational principle of learning. The paper substantiates that the anthropological principle of imitation is connected with the axiological prin-ciple of the absorption of useful and effective knowledge. The point of this principle is that from a wide variety of general knowledge gained after primary school, a pupil should choose a certain direction of education – artistic, technical or humanitarian, which provides a deeper level of mastering the knowledge in a particular field. The paper proves that the axiological principles of self-organization of basic education can include such principles as the principles of democracy, freedom, humanism, voluntariness, absorption of useful and effective knowledge, creative dialogue, and free education. The author established that anthropological and axiological principles are correlated, and therefore when creating educational and educational programs it is necessary to take into account their interaction. The paper shows that the principle of free education can bring significant innovative and technological achievements to the Ukrainian state in the future since everyone will be able to access education. This, in its turn, is an important self-organizing anthropological principle of education that correlates with the principles of freedom, democracy, and humanism and at the same time anthropological curiosity and natural desire for knowledge.

Communicative Strategies and Tactics of Debate as a Learning Tool

This article discusses an urgent educational problem, i.e. a sharp decrease in the level of students’ spoken language and, in particular, the lack of willingness and ability among school students to engage in a constructive dialogue when participating in debates. It is no accident that modern federal state educational standards pay special attention to the formation of students’ communicative competence at all levels of education. The aim of this article was to investigate the current situation in the field in order to obtain primary data showing at which educational levels the techniques of debate and discussion are used; to analyse the verbal behaviour of participants implementing various communicative strategies and tactics during debates. The following research methods were used: an analysis of literature in the field of psychology, pedagogy, communication and methodology; a questionnaire survey and interviews; an analysis of the oral presentations of students; generalization of pedagogical experience. The results of the interviews and questionnaire survey conducted among first-year university show that about 60% of the respondents experience difficulties in constructing argumentative speech. Discussions in schools are held only in high school. Secondary school teachers lack the competencies of organizing and conducting debates in class. The development of communicative skills of defending one’s point of view and conducting informed debates using communicative tactics based on the principles of dialogue and politeness should be taught during teenage years. It is at this age that communicative competencies are most actively formed. Specific examples of including debates in the curriculum of the Russian language (5th grade) for developing primary discussion skills are presented.

Co-production of knowledge for sustainability: an application of reflective practice in doctoral studies

ABSTRACTThis paper examines how doctoral students of sustainability science acquired reflective practice skills and engaged in critical reflection. Using the experience of a doctoral theory course on rural studies at the University of Guelph, students and faculty employed the principles of co-production and dialogue to explore the question: What does it mean to reflectively braid knowledge systems for sustainability? To do this, each doctoral scholar independently responded to the question, and then followed the response with an additional individual reflection. As a final discussion, we extended the reflection process and shifted the focus of conversation to ourselves and to the methodological aspects of the dialogical writing that we engaged in. Throughout this process, we used reflective practice and co-production to demonstrate how such processes must be integrated into the skills training and education of students who are taking inter- and trans-disciplinary programs. To finish, we reflect on the role of critical reflection, one that takes the normative dimensions of sustainability seriously, concluding that it is inseparable from reflective sustainability research and practice.

Perceptual Analysis according to Rudolf Arnheim’s Gestalt Theoretical approach in Structuralist Landscape Planning

Summary Landscape planning lacked an evidence-based method for the reflection of planning models on the imaginary level in order to present the image content and the relationships in the image as the basis for interpretation in a verifiable manner. The contribution is based on the thesis that the perceptual analysis according to Rudolf Arnheim can be translated into landscape planning. The case study, here an illustration with two plan sketches for urban and landscape development, is described and interpreted with the Gestalt theoretical perceptual analysis according to the criteria theme, theses, principle sketches and composition lines, interpretation, conclusion and Gestalt theoretical results. The analysed planning sketches have a low “reality level” and are part of the imaginary level. The theory of science contained therein can be understood by Gestalt theory as elementary theory of design. In the sketches, the living spaces and economic areas of the city are divided into the elements ‘settlement’ and ‘landscape’ and thereby undergo a revaluation of their significance. The replacement of figure (city) and ground (landscape) can be interpreted in terms of gestalt theory as a change of theme in the sketches as the greatest possible structural exchange. The results of the analysis are processed as research theses in the contextualisation of landscape planning and thus examined scientifically on the basis of circumstantial evidence against the reality of the living environments of the urban dwellers. The contribution proves that the perceptual analysis according to R. Arnheim is a suitable method in landscape planning for describing and interpreting graphic representations of planning models. Interdisciplinary cooperation is a contribution to the holistic treatment of a topic, because structuralist landscape planning has structural similarities with Gestalt theory and is committed to the dialogical principle. As a theory of organisation (development), Gestalt theory derives principles, structures, their relationships and qualities and is therefore suitable as a meta-theory of landscape planning to characterise the values and ethical bases in planning. This applies to all areas of the field of consciousness in landscape planning.

Principle of dialogue in Mikhail Bakhtin’s poetics

Mikhail Bakhtin (1895 - 1975) had a great influence on the history of modern poetics in the world. From the 1980s onwards, the adoption of Bakhtin's poetics was of great significance, contributing to the development of poetics in Vietnam in nearly four decades. One of the essential foundations for his theory is the principle of dialogue. However, applying the principle of dialogue in a systematic relationship with Bakhtin's academic legacy, especially its relation to the principle of carnaval, has never become easy for a consensus. The duty of this essay is to analyze the principle of dialogue in a systematic view. Dialogue is first a linguistic principle proposed on the basis of counter-argument of the linguistic theory of F.D. Saussure. The carnaval principle is a cultural basis for applying the principle of dialogue into the study of literature. By connecting these two principles to a system, Bakhtin wanted to promote the study of literature to cultural poetics. Applying the principle of dialogue for study Dostoievski’s work, he discovered the kind of novel that had never appeared before: polyphonic novel. This type of novel contains a new structure in the relationship between the author and the character, and if not based on the principle of dialogue, it is difficult to understand its full value.

Moving forward the dialogic theory of public relations: Concepts, methods and applications of organization-public dialogue

Advanced information and communication technologies and social media (Web 2.0) have significantly shaped every aspect of contemporary society since Kent and Taylor’s (1998) proposal of dialogic principles, which later evolved into dialogic theory of public relations. It is now time to move the theory forward. The special section aims to advance the dialogic theory of public relations by reviewing the scholarship in organization-public dialogue to pinpoint critical issues for its development and introducing studies that take the dialogue approach to examine a range of public relations practices in China. In this introduction, we first identify critical issues to be addressed for the development of the dialogic theory of public relations and then introduce the articles included in the section. We conclude by proposing research directions for the theoretical and practical development of the dialogic approach to public relations.

Провал коммуникации как архитектонический фактор поэтики А. П. Чехова («Кошмар», «Враги», «Неприятность»)

Purpose. The article examines communication failure which is one of the major factor of Chekhov’s poetics. The problem of architectonics is based on dialogue principle in narrative and values unity. Results. A Nightmare is a story of social misunderstanding. A public character Kunin treats a country priest father Yakov as a hard-drinking person. He is highly snobbish and refuses to hear the poor priest. Finally, his revelation of someone’s else being, except his own, shakes him much. But his newly gained knowledge about social issues such as destitution is not deep. Later, Kunin calms down and ruminates over his lack of money to help father Yakov and the other poor person, the doctor. The author’s conclusion discredits his attempt to become a better person. Overall, the dialogue of positions is just quasi-communication. In his next work, Enemies, Chekhov’s poetic construction appears to be more complicated. Doctor Kirilov and Abogin, a rich man, both experience grief, but the reasons for their grief are entirely different. Doctor has lost his only little son an hour before, but Abogin compels him to save his wife. When they arrive to Abogin’s country-estate, it turns out that the woman has just run away with her lover. This farce provokes the doctor’s rage. He blames Abogin, saying that the rich man’s distress is empty and ridiculous. According to the author, the offended Kirilov can hardly be considered wrong. And once again, the author’s conclusion sums up the short story. An existential connotation manifests the communication breakdown. The third short story, An Awkward Business, is devoted to problem of total communication failure. The main character, doctor Ovchinnikov, is not heard at all. His business matter turns out to be a matter of further existence, but nobody wants to understand the essence of his trouble. Finally, his case is interpreted in a formal way and is not solved. The author simply lets things go on, standing outside the text. And this is the innovative feature of Chekov’s mature creative work. Conclusion. To sum up, in three Chekhov’s short stories communication failure is an important factor of poetics, which is developed in his later works.

ОСНОВНА ПЕРЕДУМОВА ГАРМОНІЗАЦІЇ ПРОЦЕСУ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ ГРОМАДСЬКОЇ ДУМКИ В УКРАЇНІ

Relevance of the research topic. The urgency of the problem is determined by the need to create socio-cultural conditions for free views exchange as a condition for social dialogue between the state and civil society, which is currently not fully provided in Ukraine. The public opinion functioning in the Ukrainian society is complicated by social life factors that are manifested in the public consciousness of individuals. Increasing the level of mass media intensity, strengthening the influence of corporate and group opinion, as well as transnational corporations’ positions, on the state with the latter ignoring the individual interests, emphasizes the need to harmonize the public opinion functioning in Ukraine. The purpose of the study is define the determinants of optimizing the relationship between the state and civil society as a way to harmonize the functioning of public opinion. The objectives of the study are: 1) to determine the role of the relationship between the state and civil society in the functioning of public opinion 2) to determine the main features of the public opinion functioning in Ukrainian society 3) to form the main factors of optimizing the relationship between the state and civil society as a way to harmonize the functioning of public opinion in Ukraine. The result of the study confirm that in Ukraine a violation of the process of formation and functioning of public opinion as a manifestation of the disharmony of the relationship between the state and civil society. To reduce tension and establish a model of the relationship between the state and civil society, conceptual directions are identified. They focus on the principles of reciprocity and dialogue, humanism, historicism and succession, publicity and transparency, legality and democracy, systematicity and complexity, correspondence between theory and Ukrainian realities, objectivity and validity. The development of relations between the state and civil society is possible on condition of introducing knowledge about the state-institutional and civic-self-organizational determinants of its optimization in Ukraine.

Development of social intelligence of future speech pathologist

The problem of development of social intelligence of the future speech pathologist is in the sphere of the person professional growth with an emphasis on development of the parties of social intelligence. The article is devoted to the analysis of psychological determinants of development of the intellect for the students who will be speech pathologists. Influence of the socially-psychological factors on a social intellect is examined here. At different age stages of the individual the knowledge of the specifics of social intelligence from preschool to adulthood, makes it possible to predict the understanding of social reality. Theoretical generalization of the data obtained in our research provide an opportunity to determine the basic psychological qualities that is necessary for the successful performance of the functions of a speech pathologists. The well-known periodization of R. Selman shows that social intelligence develops throughout all person’s life. Learning the skills to solve complex social problems can be an essential area for improving the developing personality and adult personality. If this is not taught purposefully, the vast majority of society will not be able to realize its potential in situations of social interaction in full. Features of preparation of the speech pathologists for professional activity are caused by philosophy of a modern society development. The culture of building high human relations, teaching students this - is an indisputable value of modern society. Revealing the specifics of social intelligence at each stage of the ontogenetic development of the personality of each student who will be defectologist determines for himself his potential and resources. The principle of parity in the process of professional development of future special educators requires subjective interaction in tandem “teacher-student”, where the teacher not so much teaches, but helps the student to learn independently, as a result of which the student receives not only knowledge but also skills. The leading principles of professional development of the future pathologist should also include the principle of dialogue.

УКРАЇНСЬКО-ПОЛЬСЬКИЙ ДІАЛОГ ЛІТЕРАТУР ЯК СПОСІБ ПОДОЛАННЯ ЦИВІЛІЗАЦІЙНОЇ КРИЗИ

In the article on the broad background of Ukrainian and Polish literatures of the twentieth century the problem of the crisis of modern culture and the need for dialogue have been clarified. The greatest philosophers Oswald Spengler, Arthur Schopenhaur, Friedrich Nietzsche, Mykola Berdyaev, Albert Camus, Karl Jaspers, Martin Heidegger, Herbert Marcuse, and others wrote about the crisis of culture and the destructive role of the human-machine connection in it. Modernism, in particular, the Young Poland Group, came out of distrust of the cult of reason. The article deals with the works of modernists at the reception of Lesya Ukrainka and Ivan Franko, analyzes the manifestations, programs and discussions of Young Poland, and shows its impact on the Young Muse group in Lviv. The apologetics of the “machine age” in the literature is related to the work of Italian (Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Corado Govoni, Ardengo Soffici, Giovanni Panini, etc.), Russian (Igor Severianin, Vadim Shershenevich, Vladimir Mayakovskiy, Velemyr Khlebnikov, Vasiliy Kamenskih, David Burliuk) ), Ukrainian (Mikhail Semenko, Geo Shkurupiy, Oleksa Slysarenko, Dmytro Buzko, Leonid Skrypnyk), and Polish (Bruno Jasensky, Stanislav Mladozhenets, Titus Chizhevsky, August Zamoisky, Stanislav Ignacy Vitkevich, Leon Khvistek, Anatol Stern) futurists. Constructivism developed in parallel to the “industrial age”: in Ukraine - Valerian Polishchuk, Leonid Chernov-Maloshenko, Raisa Troyanker, Mike Jogansen; in Poland - Vladislav Stzeminski, Katarzyna Kobro-Stzeminska, Meczyslaw Schuka, Jan Golus, Meczyslaw Schulz and others. Symptoms of the crisis of culture and disintegration of social communication are noticeable in surrealism, neo-romanticism, expressionism, existentialism, theater of the absurd and more. The First, and later the Second World Wars, questioned the belief in the identity of European cultures. Extremely rapid development of communication tools and communication media has opened the prospects for a dialogue of literatures. It is not about their unification, which is reduced to the functioning of the product on the market. Culture is a large polyphonic space. It can distinguish the “voices” of different cultural figures, whose significance does not depend on either age or nationality. The article emphasizes that the dialogue of literatures offers the exchange of cultural values between peoples, as well as the spiritual rapprochement of large and small cultural regions, which have their unique features. As Edward Kaspersky rightly points out, dialogue is not only a matter of humanitarian contacts of the great cultures, but also of the way in which an individual takes part in their spiritual world. The dialogue of literatures helps to organically borrow the best from the treasury of neighbors (i.e., recent editions in Poland of works by Taras Shevchenko, Ivan Franko, Lesya Ukrainka, Mykhailo Kotsyubynsky, Yuri Andrukhovych, Oksana Zabuzhko; editions in Ukraine of books by Stanislav Trembetsky, Lev Venglinskiy, Tomash Padura, Yaroslav Ivashkevich, Leopold Staff, Boleslaw Lesmian, and others - in the series “Library of Polish Literature”), prompts the reader to rethink “foreign” literature. Today, the principle of dialogue of literatures is a real opportunity to overcome the deep contradictions of the civilization crisis and to overcome the environmental catastrophe and the nuclear threat. The dialogue of literatures is able to preserve cultural differences in all their richness and diversity and to establish mutual understanding and cultural contacts between peoples.

Investigating the Representation of Character Discourse in L2 Narratives Written by Iranian EFL Learners

The present study examined the discourse representation of characters’ voices in narratives written by Iranian L2 learners. The participants of this study were seven sophomore EFL majors (five women and two men) selected from among L2 learners through the convenience sampling method. The participants were assigned both a narrative topic about their story of learning EFL and Singleton’s (2001) picture narrative entitled “A Doctor’s Appointment.” Each of them wrote two narratives, first based on the topic and second on the assigned picture narrative from the first-person point of view. The content of the fourteen narratives was analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The statistical results indicated that the participants presented the characters’ utterances primarily via direct discourse (DD) that embodies the original speaker’s exact words and secondarily employed indirect discourse (ID) that represents an utterer’s report of the other speaker’s dialogues in her or his own words more willingly than free indirect discourse (FID) that signifies double-voiced utterances. Thus, the dialogical principle of characters’ discourse in L2 writings was more DD-focused and less ID-oriented with no FID instance. The qualitative analysis of the narratives showed that the participants’ writings demonstrated a heteroglossia of authorial clauses as well as direct and indirect quotations of characters’ speeches and thoughts.

«Огненное кольцо» Авета Тертеряна в определении индивидуально-композиторской концепции оперного жанра

The purpose of the article is to determine the genre and style parameters of A. Terteryan’s opera, which form the specifics of the individual composer’s concept of the opera genre. The research methodology is based on source study, analytical and genre-style approaches. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the musicological development of the theoretical aspects of A. Terteryan’s individual composer style and its representation in the genre-style concept of the opera “Ring of Fire”. Conclusions. The article examines the genrestyle specifics of the outstanding work of the classic of the Armenian musical art of the 20th century A. Terteryan in the aspect of the representativeness of the individual-composer concept of the opera genre. Taking into account the little-knownness of “Ring of Fire” in Ukraine, the study of opera from the standpoint of a composer’s interpretation of the leading genre principles of European opera of the twentieth century in connection with the national traditions of its culture, it is relevant both for modern national musicology and for vocal performance practice. In terms of genre and style, A. Terteryan’s opera demonstrates the dialogical principle of composer’s thinking. On the one hand, the manifestation of the mysterious artistic-figurative complex and types of vocal intonation that have developed in the European opera tradition is evident in it. On the other hand, it is the inheritance and creative rethinking of the national traditions of Armenian music. The stylistics of the vocal parts of the leading characters are specially highlighted, which reflects the indicated principle of dialogicity. “Ring of Fire”, in its genre and style characteristics, is in many respects correlated with the aesthetics of chamber opera (the type of drama and opera characters, the principles of compositional logic and musical characteristics of the characters, vocal stylistics). The semantics of the central characters of the opera, in accordance with its dramatic concept, indicates the correspondence to the stylistic indicators of “statuary” opera as a genre variety of chamber opera. The artistic principles of the “epic theater”, which are relevant for the opera aesthetics of the twentieth century, are also essential for the operatic poetics of the Armenian composer: they determined the transpersonal concept of the main characters of the opera and the principles of their musical embodiment associated with the original creative interpretation of Armenian musical folklore and style traditions of European opera.

Virtual Dialogues: A Method to Deal with Polarisation in a Time of Social Isolation Caused by COVID-19

How can a method of dialogue stimulate the learning of dialogic principles and practices in a virtual environment and contribute to the confrontation of social polarisation? This was the question that motivated the analysis and discussion of a project developed in Brazil during the months of May and June, 2020, which were characterised by the creation of three dialogue groups in a virtual environment (Google Meet). Throughout eight meetings, lasting one hour and a half each, the seventeen participants could learn and practice dialogue, through a method developed by the first author of this paper, based on the ideas of David Bohm, William Isaacs, and Paulo Freire. To analyse the results, three categories were recognized: learning dialogue; dialogue and the virtual environment; dialogue, social isolation, and polarization. The results found indicated that virtual dialogues seem to encourage the learning of dialogic principles and practices and the promotion of the transformation of interpersonal relations with people of different points of view, showing the possible contribution of such a proposal to the confrontation of polarisation. We emphasise that this article is a first qualitative approximation regarding the method, and there is still a long way to go of scientific deepening in the field of dialogue studies in order to ascertain its effects and challenges. Therefore, we suggest future research on the method, in different application contexts.

Pelos caminhos do diálogo aberto: reflexões sobre aprender, praticar e formar profissionais no contexto da saúde mental no Brasil

Este texto apresenta a abordagem do Diálogo Aberto a partir de reflexões e questões de meu percurso de aprendizado, prática e ensino em saúde mental. Utilizei como material de referência os artigos sobre o tema mais relevantes em meu percurso de formação, entrelaçados com anotações de aulas e workshops, diários reflexivos e rascunhos de projetos engavetados. Escrevi este texto tendo em mente o crescente interesse de profissionais brasileiros que atuam na área da saúde mental em conhecer os princípios do Diálogo Aberto, interesse este que parece refletir o reconhecimento da abrangência e relevância desta abordagem para as questões atuais do sistema de saúde mental em nosso país. Meu intento é tecer algumas considerações úteis para aqueles que desejam começar a conhecer o Diálogo Aberto, que tenham perguntas sobre como “tornar-se dialógico” na vida e na prática clínica, e queiram pensar como princípios dialógicos podem contribuir para as práticas correntes no campo da Saúde Mental.
