Fundamental Attitude Research Articles

Raster Manipulations

Abstract The sense organs are not separated from each other. Contemporary art strives towards a holistic approach. The experimental artist is more sensitive to innovations and the exploitation of new opportunities, and the one who plays against the usual use of the medium or apparatus. This is a fundamental attitude towards progressive art. It would be a mistake to leave analog technology out of this contemporary story.

Innovative Methodologies of Active Learning to Develop the Competencies of the Future of Work

International organizations promoting economic growth and global development are increasingly requesting higher education systems to prepare students with the fundamental attitude and skills to be competitive in the future workplace. After conducting two separate literature reviews on active learning strategies and on the most demanded competencies in the future of work, the paper proposes a comprehensive framework of 31 competencies pivotal for future professionals to thrive in an innovative work landscape. In the effort to nurture these skills, it further explores the contributions of the most popular active learning methodologies and delves into the role of digital technologies in enhancing the learning experience. Significantly, the paper reveals that active learning not only develops technical and methodological competencies but also enriches social, personal, and particularly digital skills, positioning students to effectively navigate and contribute to the digital economy. The emergent pedagogies underscore the importance of fostering lifelong learning, self-agency, and the adept use of diverse tools and resources, essential for the professionals of today and tomorrow.

Why More “Exodus” Is Needed in Church and Pastoral Care. Reflections on an Attitude-Forming Paradigm Shift

The relationship between secularity and religion/religiosity is a main topic of practical theol­ogy and ecclesiastical pastoral care. However, several research papers on religious studies show that the thesis that with disappearing institutionalized religiosity, plural and differentiated forms of religiosity increase is not convincing. In fact, the development shows that where people do not experience religion, it becomes irrelevant to them. This fact is an urgent question for the Church: With and from which basic attitude can and will she be able to encounter religious and secular people in such ways that the Christian gospel of human emancipation and redemption can become a reality in their lives? The Church can real­ize such a fundamental attitude in reference to the biblical Exodus and by generating a pastoral exodus.

Michel Serres and the parasitic unmaking of modernity

ABSTRACT This article uses Michel Serres’s notions of the parasite and the natural contract to develop a counter-narrative to the modern idea of the state of nature. Foundational to modern thought, the state of nature motif both retroactively legitimates the social contract it is said to precede, and has also been deployed in defence of multiple forms of racism and colonialism. It is, furthermore, a mise en abyme of a characteristic threefold gesture of flattening, partition and normalisation that characterises multiple domains of modernity. In rewriting the state of nature, therefore, Serres is addressing and problematising a much broader range of features that subtend and shape the modern world. The article argues that Serres’s parasitic paradigm challenges each moment of modernity’s threefold gesture, replacing flattening with noise, partition with parasitism, and normalisation with symbiosis. The Serresian unmaking of modernity that issues from this re-inscription not only subverts the explicit doctrines of the social contract tradition but also offers an alternative to its fundamental attitude or ethos, not merely opposing modernity but charting a course out of its pathological self-destructiveness.

Six monographs by A.I. Demchenko

The object of the study is the works of the famous Saratov musicologist, professor, Doctor of Art History A.I. Demchenko, published in 2022 and 2023. Monographs devoted to the legacy of Russian composers of the XIX–XX centuries demonstrate an integrative approach characteristic of many publications of this author. The creative figures of M.I. Glinka, S.V. Rachmaninoff, I.F. Stravinsky, S.S. Prokofiev, R.K. Shchedrin, A.G. Schnittke correlate with the historical and cultural context of the epoch, ideas realized in different types of art. This method helps to identify, first of all, ideological aspects in each of the author's systems under consideration. With varying degrees of detail, a wide range of musical works is considered, including textbook ones. The presentation of the material as a whole is subject to chronological order. The principle of semantic dominance, implemented in research, assumes the presence of a fundamental attitude in each composer's style, which ensures its uniqueness. A. Demchenko's works are of undoubted interest, first of all, from the standpoint of the author's approach, since the focus is not on narrow theoretical problems, but on the semantic essence, the conceptual and content base of the considered artistic heritage. Reliance on the method of "conceptual analysis" - as the scientist himself defines it in earlier works - provides for the subordination of all technological observations, historical information to the task of revealing cultural, universal meanings. Some decisions of the author of the monographs are questionable. The issue of foreign influences on Glinka's style seems insufficiently developed; the role of urban associations in Stravinsky's "Sacred Spring", on the contrary, seems somewhat exaggerated. The comments made do not prevent us from making a general conclusion about the productivity of the proposed approaches and the potential relevance of the submitted works in scientific and educational practice.

The evolution of the position of Italian Case law concerning public policy in transnational family matters, in view of some recent judgments of the Italian Court of Cassation and Constitutional Court

The position held by the Italian case law concerning public policy in transnational family law matters has recently experienced some interesting developments, showing an enduring ambiguity between two different notions of public policy for the purposes of private international law, between a “truly international” conception of public policy, whereby it should be considered as purely limited to internationally shared legal principles, concerning especially the protection of fundamental rights, and a more traditional notion. According to the latter notion, public policy for the purposes of private international law shall be considered as embodying mostly national principles, identifying the fundamental attitude of the country at the relevant time, as reflected non only by its constitutional rules, but also by the rules embodied in domestic legislation, insofar as these translate into concrete rules the general principles embodied in the national constitution. Some recent judgments by the Italian Court of Cassation and Constitutional Court concerning topical issues of family law, with particular regard to surrogate motherhood, full adoption by same-sex couples, and repudiation, are particularly telling of this state of affairs. As the author proposes, the dichotomy between the said two notions of public policy for the purposes of private international law is likely to be overcome by suggesting a more flexible reading of the traditional notion, likely to encompass within its scope also those internationally shared legal principles concerning fundamental rights, embodied in the different notion mentioned above, with particular regard to the protection of the best interest of the child, as well as of gender equality.

СТРУКТУРНЫЕ ВОПРОСЫ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ В КОНТЕКСТЕ ЦИФРОВОЙ ЭКОНОМИКИ

In this article, the main topical, in our opinion, structural issues of management in the context of the digital economy are considered, the analysis of the impact of new realities on this process is carried out, the main modern trends in training specialists in the conditions of modern development of digitalization are presented. In the course of the study, it was revealed that the fundamental attitude to the system of training specialists has changed in the conditions of the modern development of digitalization, which makes it possible to formulate requirements for digital competencies of personnel, digital specialties and their characteristics in the field of data management are considered. Currently, there is an urgent issue of revising management methods in the context of the emergence of new challenges associated with a change in approach to the fundamental concepts of the economic system. The structure and methods of obtaining knowledge are changing, which, in turn, requires the transformation of the system of obtaining educational services. In this regard, the article chooses the presented topic, analyzes the methods of research of economic processes related to the issues of changing the management structure in modern conditions of digitalization. The main objectives of the scientific article were: definition of structural management issues in the context of the digital economy; the study of the features of their implementation on the example of the educational industry in the framework of training a new generation specialist who meets the level of digitalization of a modern company; the study of the Russian experience of the process of the influence of the digital economy on the process of obtaining knowledge, professional development and development of new personnel. Attention is also paid to the development of management methods in the context of the digital economy in Russia, the authors identify the main structural issues of management from the point of view of a scientific approach.

On the psychological importance of control and valorisation in psychiatric environments

Abstract When people suffering from severe mental illnesses are treated in psychiatric facilities, there appear conflicting priorities between security and individual control that are often skewed towards security. As a result, patients admitted to highly institutionalised psychiatric wards do not only suffer from mental illness but also from loss of control as a basic human need (Grawe, 2000). Through this loss of control (e.g., not being able to choose where to go), people become especially dependent on their immediate social and spatial surroundings. From a psychological point of view, the concept of control reflects in concepts such as self-efficacy (Bandura, 1977), internal vs. external locus of control (Rotter, 1966), or environmental mastery (Ryff, 1989), all pointing to a beneficial influence on well-being and health. Yet, depending on their current situation, psychiatric patients may also feel overwhelmed by an excess of choices. Increasing patients' sense of control by offering them small choices during their stay at a psychiatric environment, however, might increase well-being (cf. Langer & Rodin, 1968). This possibility of control has the potential to also activate the feeling of valorisation in patients: As a positive fundamental attitude towards another person, implying appreciation and respect, valorisation poses an important element of psychotherapy (e.g., Rogers, 1951). Especially as people with psychiatric disorders are still stereotyped and stigmatized (e.g., as a homogenous group of “the mentally ill”), actively searching for new ways to foster valorisation in psychiatric environments may further contribute to patients' well-being and individualisation. Transferring the concept of valorisation to physical objects as primes affords an opportunity to extend feeling appreciated beyond immediate social interaction.

Gandhi and Sustainability. An Attempt to Update Timeless Ideas

Linking Gandhi and sustainability may seem like a fashionable gimmick at first glance. However, if sustainability is understood in a holistic way, as a transformation of human–environment relations as well as of social and economic structures, this image changes. If one also takes seriously that Gandhi’s understanding of non-violence does not only include the avoidance of physical violence, but a fundamental attitude in different areas of life, such as economy or the use of technology, it becomes clear that sustainability, as it is currently being promoted by the United Nations in Agenda 2030, and Gandhi’s concept of satyagraha pursue identical goals. Gandhi, as well as elements of the Christian ethical tradition, can enrich political programs with a spiritual dimension, without which profound changes in human attitudes will not be possible.

Nature-inspired optimization algorithms for different computing systems: novel perspective and systematic review

Nature inspired algorithm plays a very vibrant role in solving the different optimization problems these days. The fundamental attitude of naturalistic approaches is to boost the competence, improvement, proficiency, success in the task except from it to help in underrating the energy use, cost, size. Several computing techniques are taking the benefits from nature inspired algorithms for solving their problems related to load balancing, scheduling and many others. These algorithms have come up with lots of improvements in the results. The aim of this analysis is to make efforts in the betterment in different areas of computing and help in solving various problems related to load balancing, scheduling and energy efficiency. The structure of the paper includes an introduction, contribution to the work, background study, which includes the role of nature inspired techniques in a different computing environment, research challenges and its applications. The sustainable goal and objective of the article is to perform the energy efficiency, load balancing and scheduling on different computing systems which include grid, cloud, distributed, fog and edge computing by using various nature inspired algorithms. This comprehensive study gives the awareness and valuable provision for the researchers in this area by providing a thorough study of different computing techniques in different research fields.

НА АМБУЛАТОРНОМ ПРИЕМЕ ПАЦИЕНТ С ИЗБЫТОЧНОЙ МАССОЙ ТЕЛА, СЧИТАЮЩИЙ СЕБЯ ЗДОРОВЫМ

According to WHO forecasts, 60% of the worlds population (3.3 billion people) may be overweight (2.2 billion people) and obese (1.1 billion people) by 2030. Increased body weight and atherogenic dyslipidemia are independent risk factors for chronic non-infectious diseases, which, in turn, lead to premature mortality of the working population. Management of patients with increased body weight requires a complex change in their lifestyle and their consistent and sustained efforts. Taking into account the latest data on the contribution of abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, fatty hepatosis to the risks for development of cardiovascular diseases, these patients are indicated the earliest therapeutic and preventive outpatient intervention. The success of treatment depends on the degree of motivation, the level of compliance of the patient and regular control throughout life. However, when a patient considers himself healthy, he hopes to solve the arising problems quickly and easily, which is often impossible for objective reasons. In this case, the fundamental attitude of the patient may be crucial in the success of treatment. In the article, a typical clinical case of overweight and of other risk factors for chronic non-infectious diseases at the stage of early clinical manifestations associated with increased risks of multiple comorbidities, is described. But the patient, considering himself quite healthy and the first clinical manifestations insignificant, faced with the necessity of regular medical monitoring and complex life-long intervention, partially follows doctors recommendations and eventually is shying away from solving problems. By focusing on a paternalistic or engineering model of relationships with the doctor, the patient significantly reduces the effectiveness of the earliest control of risk factors for chronic non-infectious diseases. Analyzing the presented clinical case, it is possible to draw attention of specialists to the necessity of rationalization of diagnostic and treatment programs in real outpatient practice.

Religion, Conflict and the Asian Theology of Harmony

Interreligious dialogue plays a vital role in addressing conflicts in Asia. In situations, however, where there is an interweaving of religion and conflict, interreligious dialogue, as a peace-building mechanism, is fundamentally challenged by its very foundation, which is the notion of religion. By taking the case of the Mindanao conflict, the aim of this paper is to demonstrate that religion expressed culturally and geographically as ethno-religious identity forces interreligious dialogue as primarily a process towards radical renewal of the involved faith traditions. By drawing into the Mindanao experiences, the paper argues that interreligious dialogue, in order to perform its peace-building task, should first be able to process ethno-religious identities to overcome their particularity and embrace theology of harmony. The theology harmony transcends religious identity and the priority of the other, and considers acceptance and engagement of the “we”-as a diverse people living together as the very constitution of the involved parties in the interreligious dialogue.

«Моя исповедь» князя П. А. Вяземского

<p><em>My Confession</em> (1829) of P. A. Vyazemsky, one of the most important historical, literary and autobiographical documents of the 19th century, has never been the subject of independent study. Its focus of attention is the period of the Prince’s civil service in Warsaw, which predetermined not only the formation of his ideas of liberalism and constitutionalism, but also the collapse of his career as a civil servant in 1821. The article makes an attempt to identify the main formal-meaningful constants of<em> My Confession</em>. As a result of the study, the immediate motif and reasons for the prince's resort to confession, his addressee, the main goal and discursive practices are identified. The author of the article states that <em>My Confession</em> does not contain religious connotations; its main content is the consistent presentation of events, facts, thoughts, feelings (in the form in which they appear in the mind of the Prince almost a decade later), as well as the exposure of the libels of ill-wishers and the restoration of a good name. It is noted that the general autobiographical confessional strategy of Vyazemsky determines both the author’s repentance of the political “errors” of liberal youth and the exposition / propaganda of liberal views due to active auto-citation; at the same time, the fundamental attitude towards veracity is combined with the so-called “Political correctness” (allowing conscious silence about certain events, facts, persons in order to avoid knowingly lying).</p>

Consumerism as a moral attitude

In this theoretical and explorative essay, from an analysis of Pope Francis’, Cornel West's, and William T. Cavanaugh's works, it is argued that it is possible to construe a specific understanding of the concept of consumerism within the political theological discourse. From the analysis, consumerism is imagined as a fundamental attitude of remaining morally indifferent towards suffering. Accordingly, the proposed definition for consumerism is understood as the act of trivializing the good and remaining indifferent towards suffering. Furthermore, the article highlights how this definition of consumerism challenges the idea of consumerism as an “ersatz” religion, which is an understanding of consumerism that is often used within a Christian theological context.

Heidegger and the Mystical Tradition

The text presented here is an edited transcription of a thirteen-page unpublished typescript titled “Heidegger and the Mystical Tradition” by Reiner Schürmann. It dates back to the time following the completion of Schürmann’s book on Meister Eckhart and exhibits the preliminary conception of the former’s famous ‘practical a priori.’ Focusing on the relation between Heidegger’s meditative thinking and a mystical tradition inaugurated by Meister Eckhart, the text retrieves the steps of the latter’s path to Releasement as a practical transformation of existence (Part I). In so doing, it provides a detailed account of Releasement as the condition for a peculiar experience of thinking “in which one fundamental attitude manifests itself throughout an itinerary of human existence and which tends to make this itinerary the very condition for the understanding of truth.” By hinging on Heidegger’s different acceptations of ‘letting-be’—as well as on his verbal understanding of Being as Anwesen (presencing) and Ereignis (appropriation-event)—the text indicates Releasement as the coincidence of Being’s and man’s ways to be and shows how it is in the very “urgency of a new existence and thought” that the proximity between Heidegger and Meister Eckahrt’s mystical tradition comes to the fore.

Effects of clinical clerkship in education for physical and occupational therapy students: a multifaceted examination using objective indices.

This study aimed to determine the effects of clinical clerkship in physical and occupational therapy students' education on their stress, sleep, and technical skill acquisition. We compared responses to the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire and the Athens Insomnia Scale, and students' clinical training grades between a traditional clinical training group (n=48) and a clinical clerkship group (n=48). Compared with the traditional group, the clinical clerkship group showed significantly higher scores on the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire for quantitative and qualitative burden, and significantly lower scores for the extent of control over tasks, irritability, fatigue, depression, and physical ailment. Scores for vitality and supervisor support were also significantly higher in the clinical clerkship group than the traditional group. The median Athens Insomnia Scale score was significantly lower in the clinical clerkship group. Clinical training grades for fundamental attitude and treatment techniques were significantly higher in the clinical clerkship group than in the traditional group. Students that experienced clinical clerkship perceived quantitative and qualitative burdens, which may be attributable to the level of interaction with patients during training. Their perception of low control over tasks may be because their supervisors described tasks specifically. However, the clinical clerkship group showed lower mental and physical stress than the traditional group. These students perceived they had supervisor support, which may be attributable to increased communication with their supervisor. Clinical clerkship was also linked to better sleep status than traditional training. Continuing clinical clerkship is necessary to develop students' technical clinical skills.

Humility and instruction in Zephaniah 3.1-7

The rapid and unmarked transition from the oracle against Assyria/Nineveh in Zephaniah 2.13-15 to the condemnation of Jerusalem in 3.1-7 rhetorically underscores the deep and troubling continuity between Jerusalem and Assyria/Nineveh. This article examines this continuity in light of two important elements of the book of Zephaniah: the depiction of Assyria (and those nations aligned with it) as prideful and the scribal character of 3.1-7. The finding is that Zeph. 3.1-7 presents Jerusalem and its leaders as paralleling the arrogant Assyrians and like-minded nations in a way that spurs Zephaniah’s exilic scribal audience to adopt a fundamental attitude of humility. Such humility accepts the authority of Yahwistic teachers and instructional texts in order to avoid future judgment against Jerusalem. In a scribal context, repudiating Assyrian-style pride may also entail rejecting education (putatively) aligned with Assyria/Babylon.

HEINRICH MEIER E LA SFIDA DELLA TEOLOGIA POLITICA

Questo articolo offre una breve panoramica dei libri di Heinrich Meier sulla teologia politica di Carl Schmitt, ovvero Carl Schmitt e Leo Strauss, e Die Lehre Carl Schmitts. Questi scritti, pubblicati rispettivamente nel 1988 e nel 1994, e recentemente tradotti in italiano da Cantagalli (Siena), hanno suscitato sia valutazioni entusiastiche che critiche feroci. Il succo dell'interpretazione di Meier è il seguente: il nucleo del pensiero di Schmitt è la sua fede cristiana. La dottrina politica di Schmitt deve essere intesa come teologia politica, cioè come dottrina politica che pretende di essere fondata sulla rivelazione divina. L'atteggiamento fondamentale del teologo politico, quindi, è la pia obbedienza all'insondabile volontà di Dio. L'ipotesi del documento è che la lettura di Meier, che da un punto di vista storico potrebbe apparire come molto controversa, sia essenzialmente il tentativo di articolare l'alternativa fondamentale tra teologia politica e filosofia politica. La presunta stilizzazione di Carl Schmitt e Leo Strauss da parte di Meier è una forma di "platonismo", cioè una purificazione teorica finalizzata a una chiara formulazione di ciò che egli intende per "problema teologico-politico".

Serving and love – Values in ethical nursing leadership

Background: The significance of ethical and serving nursing leadership is the greatest contributing factors to attain good and quality assured care for patients. Prioritizing an ethical attitude and value base within the different levels of healthcare organizations opens up for well-being among patients, nurses, and nurse leaders. Polarization and many restructurings have changed the value base of healthcare organizations and the nursing culture so that serving and ethical values have been deprioritised rather than reinforced. Objective: To deepen the understanding of serving and ethical nursing leadership and to examine how nurse leaders through their ethos can pave the way toward the evident – the good, the truthful and the beautiful serving in the context of nursing administrations.Methodology: Qualitative, descriptive and hermeneutic approach with inductive elements. The material consists of deep interviews with six nurse leaders. The hermeneutic reading act and interpretation of the interview texts are inspired by Hans-Georg Gadamer’s philosophical thought.Result: Ethical leadership that serves the guest of honour of the healthcare organization, the patient, and the caring culture are made visible in the context of nursing administration through “The good, the truthful and the beautiful” timeless movement directed toward health, healing and the meaning of life. Ethos gives to nursing leadership a value base and fundamental attitude, and is linked to the responsibility of nursing administrations, dignity and holiness.Implications for nursing management: Ethical and serving nurse leaders are attractive and legitimate role models for today’s nursing administrations. Nurse leaders’ direct influence, ethos and serving are factors that are closely connected with the ethical climate of the healthcare organization.
