The concepts of interdisciplinary research

This article gives a series of essential concepts to initiate an interdisciplinary research process. The purpose is to provide a glossary of analytical content and a brief contextualization of Rolando Garcia’s work on complex systems and interdiscipline that brings together, under our criteria, the most advanced science of complexity. We refer to the monumental work of Jean Piaget materialized in genetic epistemology, the general theory of systems of Ludwing Von Bertalanffy (1976) and the innovative explanations of physics and chemistry of the School of Brussels. Special mention is made of the historical materialism of Karl Marx (1867), which represents a transdisciplinary theory with the characteristics necessary for the study of the social system as organized, determined and structured by the multiple relationships between its subsystems. Finally, some examples are offered to clarify the fundamental processes in the application of an interdisciplinary research methodology consistent with the epistemology of complex systems. This work is intended as a very synthetic contribution, an analytical summary and a sort of reference manual for the investigation of hypercomplex phenomena: subject-centric and self-reflexive phenomena with the ability to think of themselves, which raises to the maximum the levels of complexity of their processes, that is, social phenomena.

CONCEPTUAL REVIEW OF FAMILY RESILIENCE

Family resilience is a dynamic process that helps families to navigate and overcome adversities and crises. The introduction of general systems theory and its application to family therapy further contributed to developing the concept of family resilience. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of family resilience while highlighting some of the challenges in its conceptualization, whose reconsideration might be of broader importance in future research. Starting from the understanding of the development path of the concept of family resilience, this paper provides insight into how to view the key constructs incorporated in the concept of family resilience. Following this, emphasis in this paper is given to the challenges in conceptualizing family resilience. These challenges include definitions of family resilience, central terms used in models, and variations in the operationalization and measurement of key constructs. The models of family resilience presented in the paper are the ones considered influential in contemporary family studies. They provide frameworks for understanding the processes and cycles involved in family adjustment, adaptation, and response to stress and crisis. The conceptual review offered by this paper could contribute to conducting further research on family resilience.

Project Cost Management and Performance of National Housing Corporation Projects in Kenya.

Projects from government give recipients or beneficiaries an exceptional premium, success of a project is not a time activity, success of a project must be conducted within the scope and also sufficient financial support should be in place.

Ontological aspects of the problem of realizability of control of complex systems

The article deals with the management of complex systems. The general definitions of the concepts "control" and "control system" are formulated. It is stated that the control system in its basis is an information system, for which the most important characteristics are performance and rapidity. Definitions are given and differences between these characteristics are revealed. The problem of realizability of control of complex systems is stated, which consists in the necessity of providing sufficient rapidity, at which the whole necessary complex of control operations is placed in the control cycle. The relationship between the control parameters: the complexity of the control object, the duration of the control cycle and the rapidity of the control system is investigated. As a result, a number of significant dependencies are revealed: the duration of the control cycle is approximately inversely proportional to the complexity of the control object; the rapidity of the control system is approximately proportional to the square of the object complexity. It is stated that within the framework of the general theory of systems there are two main options for increasing the stability of a complex system: the option of monocentrism with a central element, or by increasing the number of links in the object. The first option does not allow increasing rapidity. The second variant of stability can be implemented in practice in the form of a decentralized system. The latter option is universally realized in living systems and is promising for the control of technical systems.

Semantic aspects of musical language

Music is a multifaceted phenomenon: it carries the mission of aesthetic education and enlightenment, performs therapeutic functions and is not only a source of information, but also the subject of filling human consciousness with a sense of joy, drama, and a high spiritual beginning. All the above is provided due to the many components that constitute the whole picture of musical art. These include intonation and rhythm, tempo and dynamics, timbre and texture, and more voluminous components: genre and form. Each of its elements represents a certain category, which, in turn, carries a semantic load or semantic aspect belonging to it. Having a centuries-old history of existence, music and, accordingly, its components have undergone considerable evolution. The purpose of the study is to show the semantic aspects of musical language as an integral system in their continuous dynamics of development, updating, and complication of content. The history of sound creativity is a vivid picture of styles and techniques of writing, images, and themes inherent in a particular era. The above is inextricably linked with the deep evolution of semantic aspects that convey the content and importance of all the leading categories of music. They represent, regardless of the period, an integral system of elements, the transformation of which is discussed in this article. The definition of the boundaries of "evolution" in relation to music, the disclosure of its action at various levels (the evolution of musical thinking, the evolution of national style, artistic area, the evolution of individual compositional style), the development of the theory of evolution in the field of functioning of musical phenomena – these and other problems are priorities for modern scientific musicology and art criticism. Realising the complexity and globality of the problem posed, the basis of which is the consideration of musical phenomena in the aspect of the theory of evolution, this article includes one of the possible approaches to solving this issue, involving the "general theory of systems" created in the 20th century. For that reason, this publication is relevant. It combines the most important theses of researchers investigating the problem of the semantics of the musical language in the context of such disciplines as pedagogy, quantum physics, medicine, social science. The study searches for the materials on the studied subject, their systematisation, and provides a panoramic display of the analysis of the semantic aspects of musical art. The author also shares the prospects of analysis of the mentioned phenomenon. The need for this research is conditioned by the essence of the subject, since it constantly changes, gets enriched with new qualities, actively responding to what is happening in real-time.

General Systems Theory and Creative Artificial Intelligence

The article analyzes the possibilities and limitations of artificial intelligence. The article considers the subjectivity of artificial intelligence, determines its necessity for solving intellectual problems depending on the possibility of representing the real world as a deterministic system. Methodological limitations of artificial intelligence, which is based on the use of big data technologies, are stated. These limitations cause the impossibility of forming a holistic representation of the objects of cognition and the world as a whole. As a tool for deterministic description of the universe it is proposed to use empirical-metaphysical general theory of systems, which is an extension of existing general theories of systems due to ontological justification of the phenomenon of isomorphism and definition of a limited set of laws, rules, patterns and primitives of forms and relations of objects in the universe. The distinction of natural (human) and artificial intelligence is considered, including the realization of multisystem integration of intelligence in physical, biological, social and spiritual systems. A philosophically grounded approach to ensuring the evolutionary properties of artificial intelligence is formulated, based on the inclusion of non-equilibrium mechanisms through which stability is realized.

An Assessment Model for Sustainable Cities Using Crowdsourced Data Based on General System Theory: A Design Science Methodology Approach

In the quest to understand urban ecosystems, traditional evaluation techniques often fall short due to incompatible data sources and the absence of comprehensive, real-time data. However, with the recent surge in the availability of crowdsourced data, a dynamic view of urban systems has emerged. Recognizing the value of these data, this study illustrates how these data can bridge gaps in understanding urban interactions. Furthermore, the role of urban planners is crucial in harnessing these data effectively, ensuring that derived insights align with the practical needs of urban development. Employing the Design Science Methodology, the research study presents an assessment model grounded in the principles of the city ecosystem, drawing from the General System Theory for Smart Cities. The model is structured across three dimensions and incorporates twelve indicators. By leveraging crowdsourced data, the study offers invaluable insights for urban planners, researchers, and other professionals. This comprehensive approach holds the potential to revolutionize city sustainability assessments, deepening the grasp of intricate urban ecosystems and paving the way for more resilient future cities.

The problem of loss of integrity of modern philosophical and scientific knowledge

The article deals with the actual problem of social development, the development of sciences and, in general, the development of human civilization – a gradual departure from reliance on a system of established generally accepted ideas and, as a result, the loss of the integrity of philosophical and scientific knowledge. The ability of various models to reliably describe areas of cognition that are outside the area on the basis of knowledge about which these models are formed is considered. The general theory of systems is considered, the central idea of which is the existence of isomorphism of forms and laws in various subject areas and at various levels of the universe, through which the integrity of the world is manifested. The necessity of relying on a system of generally accepted ideas about nature, society, ethics and aesthetics is justified, even if these ideas are not indisputable and final. The necessity of returning philosophy to the leading role in cognition is stated, since only philosophy is able to ensure the integrity of the knowledge system. It is stated that such a property is possessed by models that are able to fit into a holistic picture of the world. The idea is put forward that the General theory of systems can become the basis for building a holistic picture of the world. To do this, it should be expanded by defining the methodology of formation and describing particular manifestations of isomorphism, as well as supplemented with an ontological part containing an explanation of the genesis of isomorphism.

Semantic uncertainty of the general theory of systems and problems of its interpretation and formalization

The subject of research in this article is the question of the possibility of formalizing the general theory of systems, that is, turning it into a language for describing systems of any nature with unambiguously defined lexical units and rules. To answer this question, the author considers the phenomenon of semantic indeterminacy of languages, which ensures the flexibility of formed lexical constructions due to the multivalence of lexical units. Also the subject of the research is the practice of quoting out of context – a phenomenon, the admissibility of which is conditioned by the isomorphism of lexical constructions, as well as by the creative nature of the cognitive process, in which the result of cognition is unknown in advance, and thus the change of interpretation of the used concepts is inevitable. The conducted research allows us to state that the general theory of systems cannot be exclusively an applied theory, but should be supplemented with an ontological component. In this case, it becomes a philosophical theory, for which full formalization is impossible without loss of functionality. As a result, general systems theory must inevitably retain a certain semantic uncertainty. This uncertainty, however, can be reduced by translation into universality and generalization of concepts. Besides, it is possible and in some cases necessary to formalize separate components of the general theory of systems, in particular, its ontological component - the metaphysics of material existence.

The proliferation of armed vigilante groups in Nigeria: tacit or official endorsement

This paper examines the proliferation of armed vigilante groups in Nigeria, especially with its tacit or official endorsements by the Federal and State Governments and the general public. In recent times, the activities of armed vigilante groups has sparked a lot of scholarly debates among authors, critics and analysts who tend to question the necessity for the normal security forces to abdicate their duties to alternative organizations in the country. The study used secondary sources of data collection methods, while the general systems theory provided the framework. The result of findings revealed that four different categories of vigilante groups exist in Nigeria, namely the neighborhood or community watch, ethnic vigilante groups, religious vigilante groups and state-sponsored vigilante groups. Despite the obvious shortcomings in their activities, the proliferation of these armed groups has the support of private individuals and public institutions in the country; thereby filling security gaps provided by the inefficient and ineffective policing of regular security forces. Therefore, it was suggested that the capability of the Federal Government to offer security and administer justice to its citizens needs to be improved irrespective of tribe or religious affiliations, provide better security and counter impunity, pursue police reform and bolster judicial capacity to deliver justice without fear or favor, delegate some policing authority to state and local governments, and create legislation to better control vigilante groups and the dangers involved in their operations. Otherwise, armed vigilante groups will continue to proliferate with increased capacity to upset national security systems.

Capsuled approach to analysis of the profitability of digitalization of business processes of telecommunications companies in Ukraine

Digital progress fundamentally transforms social reality, changing not only the key principles of social life but also all social institutions and spheres in which social interaction takes place, without neglecting the fundamental basis of the world's existence – the economy. Therefore, the problem of digitalization of the enterprise's business processes in the conditions of the digital economy becomes extremely urgent, given the need for high-quality management of the development of private capital.
 The purpose of the article is a multi-aspect system modeling of the encapsulated approach of the enterprise's business processes to find adequate justified management of flow processes in the conditions of digitalization of the economy. Research methodology – methods of digital analytics, based on the analysis of financial statements of enterprises and mathematical modeling of investment flows, including comparative analysis of indicators of comprehensive diagnostics of the effectiveness of digitalization of telecommunications enterprises. Findings - the key flows of business processes of enterprises are defined: material, innovative-intellectual, information-marketing, financial, the effectiveness of which management consists in the synchronization of flows with the possible assumption of temporary variations in the investment of one or another flow. Modeling made it possible to recognize the dominant flows – financial and innovative-intellectual, which allowed the authors to scientifically substantiate the need for systematic balanced management of the enterprise's business processes depending on the changing external environment, which is forced to transform intensively under the influence of the realities of the digital society. The theoretical constructs applied by the authors using the general and innovative theory of systems, the process approach of managing the quality of flows in combination with an interdisciplinary approach and analytical methodology made it possible to highlight the peculiarities of business processes in the conditions of digitalization as a general complex system that can be effectively managed using modern digital technologies.
 The study of key indicators and analysis of flow management is proposed to be carried out with the help of an encapsulated approach, which provides scientists with the basis for analytical analysis of the effectiveness of business processes at a modern enterprise in the conditions of a digital society. Research limitations – obtaining the analytical dependence of the key flows of the enterprise's business processes is a platform for making management decisions but requires the use of a more modern methodology using digital tools.

Stages and main tasks of the century-long the control theory and system identification development. Part I. State space method in the theory of linear automatic control systems

This article opens a series of publications dedicated to the scientific and technical achievements of the century-long development of control theory and methods. Problems that could not be fully resolved based on one approach or another are also noted. The first of these articles is devoted to the state space method, which began to actively develop somewhere in the 70-80s of the last century within the framework of systems theory and general systems theory. A description of the method is given in relation to linear automatic control systems. A generally accepted description of controlled and observable dynamic processes in such systems is given. The problems of synthesis of stabilizing control in closed loop systems with feedback based on the theory of stability formulated by Lyapunov are mainly considered. In addition to stability, within the framework of the state space method, such important qualitative properties as controllability and observability are formulated. The most developed method is the synthesis of state-based linear controllers. Among them, a special pole placement by method of modal control synthesis occupies a special place which is considered within the framework of the Jordan implementation and various modifications of the method depending on the dimension of the control vector. The synthesis of an optimal controller with a quadratic criterion of a fairly general form is considered. In case of incomplete measurements, when the dimension of the output is less than the dimension of the state vector, in order to implement synthesized control laws based on the state, it becomes necessary to include a state estimator in the control system. In the deterministic case, you can use the Luenberger estimator described in the article, and in the presence of measurement errors in the form of zero-mean white noise, the widely used Kalman filter, also presented in the article. The output control method was not left unattended in the work. The conclusions give the advantages and disadvantages of control methods based on state-space descriptions.

Сетевая философия искусственной рациональности: эффекты взаимодействия разноуровневых систем. Часть 1

The article is one of the aspects of the theory of rational systems - the author's approach designed to interpret and model the world of «new rationality», in which not only the «traditional» carriers of rationality - people, communities, groups, states, but also technology take an active part. Rational systems theory tries to describe «traditional» and «non-traditional» actors with the same tools - cybernetics, general systems theory, structural functionalism, network analysis. In this article, special attention is paid to technical systems, understood as rational systems, however, the author refrains from the actor-network equalization of «humans» and «non-humans», pointing out the irreducibility of the ontologies of natural, spontaneous rationality and artificial rationality. Multi-level systems, coexisting with each other, reveal in themselves a completely different architecture. The study is devoted to identifying these differences.

Transdisciplinary role of physical and mathematical disciplines in modern natural science and engineering education

Introduction. In recent decades, a gradual degradation of mathematics and physics training in schools and universities has begun. Obviously, this has caused a significant decrease in the quality of professional training of students in the conditions of commercialisation and continuous reforms of education, and its chaotic digitalisation. At the same time, modern mathematics and physics have become the leader of the transdisciplinary trend in the natural, engineering, and other sciences of the digital era. The transdisciplinary trend generates a universal methodology capable of solving complex multifactorial interdisciplinary problems of nature and society. As a result of the transdisciplinary trend in science, such scientific fields as cybernetics, general systems theory, catastrophe theory, synergetics, artificial intelligence, big data, etc. have emerged. All these concepts were developed on the basis of the achievements of mathematics and physics over the past 70–80 years, which gave rise to the most unique practical achievements in modern, natural, and technical sciences.Aim. The present research aims to explore transdisciplinarity role of physical and mathematical disciplines in modern natural science and engineering education.Methodology and research methods. The system-based approach was used to analyse the role of mathematical and physical science systems in modern education. The synergetic approach became the basis for the study of the transdisciplinary trend of these systems in historical retrospect. In the methodology of these approaches, an important role was played by the methods of students’ holistic scientific worldviews formation, including ideas about the modern picture of the world of mathematics and physics. The authors applied the methods to develop student systems thinking (with its important quality of nonlinearity), which underlies the solution of multifactorial interdisciplinary tasks of their professional activity.Results. The results of the analysis of the transdisciplinary role of physical and mathematical disciplines indicate the fundamental importance of the unique potential of these disciplines in the natural science and engineering education in the era of the computer revolution.Scientific novelty. The authors identified, justified and characterised transdisciplinary ideas and methods (in mathematics and physics), which bring natural and engineering sciences to a higher level of cognition, thus contributing to improving the quality of natural science and engineering training of students at universities using a computer.Practical significance. The research materials emphasise considerable practical importance to implement a transdisciplinary approach in didactics and methods of teaching physical and mathematical disciplines in the system of natural science, and engineering education. The research findings will be of interest to educational theorists and teachers, who conduct professional training of students of natural science and engineering fields and to everyone who is interested in the prosperous future of the educational system.

Образовательная система региона ресурсного типа как объект стратегирования

Education can bring resource-type regions to sustainable development. However, education receives very little scientific attention as an object of strategizing. The existing definitions and descriptions of education do not quite correspond to the general theory of socio-economic systems. The science of strategizing needs a new theoretical and terminological analysis of this concept. This research relies on the general theory of strategy and the methodology of strategizing developed by Professor V. L. Kvint, e.g., the structural-system analysis and the logical methodology for definitions. It covers the existing approaches to the definition of the concept and structure of education systems published in the Russian Science Citation Index. Based on the general theory of systems, the authors developed the following definition for the education system in a resource-type region: it is a complex of individuals, organizations, and institutions linked by pedagogical, psychological, organizational, and socio-economic relations regarding and aimed at developing human capital for the sustainable inclusive development of people, businesses, resource regions, and post-extractivist practices. This definition includes not only elements, but also relationships within the system and its purpose. The article introduces a conceptual scheme of a holistic strategy for the development of the education system in a resource-type region. The scheme makes it possible to strategize all elements, from education to tailored strategies for students and academics. The research results can be used by universities, regional authorities, and education management to strategize the development of education in resource-type regions.
