Continuity of Identity: The Sameness of Self from Childhood to Adulthood

This article delves into the complexities of personal identity by exploring philosophical and psychological theories. It introduces John Lockes idea that personal identity is constructed through consciousness and memory, where each experience contributes to a coherent self when pieced together. However, the Ship of Theseus paradox raises questions about maintaining core identity amidst systematic transformations. The psychological perspective emphasizes the role of memory and learning in shaping an individuals self-perception. The narrative also underscores the significance of neurological functions, acting as conductors orchestrating cognition, behavior, and emotions to form a unique personal identity. The article further discusses enduring aspects of selfhood, considering biological, psychological, and social dimensions, including genetic makeup, personality traits, memories, and social interactions. It highlights the interplay of continuity and change, illustrating how personal identity maintains a consistent essence while evolving. The synthesis suggests that personal identity is like a symphony, blending continuity and change into a harmonious composition. Empirical evidence and case studies support the enduring nature of personal identity, asserting that fundamental aspects of the self persist from childhood into adulthood. The article concludes by acknowledging that the exploration of personal identity and continuity remains an ongoing journey, continually inviting scholarly inquiry.

FUNCTIONAL QUALITIES OF LVIV’S NEWEST CHRISTIAN CHURCHES

The article consides the problems of Lviv’s newest sacred architectural buildings, namely their functional qualities. It is proven that among the main reasons why religious people rarely attend liturgies can be a lack of time or a general reluctance to visit the church, giving priority to other matters. The following principles of the designing of church educational institutions are given: denominationalism and ecumenism; multi-education; sacredness; worldliness; inclusiveness; flexibility and mobility; traditionalism and modernity. The main functional zones are distinguished, which include the entrance zone, sanctuary, entertainment and recreation, educational, dining, residential, commercial, administrative, technical, household, exhibition and auxiliary groups of objects. The necessity of searching for new ways and means of spreading spiritual knowledge in society is indicated. It requires new methods and approaches in the design of institutions of religious activity. Special attention is paid to the needs of people with disabilities. Public spaces are divided into functional and cultural and educational spaces. Types of location of public spaces in churches are described, they are: part of the floor, in a specially built building, with a specially decorated entrance, under the open sky, part of the building. The topic of public space in temples is considered. It is noted that the building of the spiritual retreat center, which combines various social functions, is designed in such a way as to ensure the comfort of visitors and the smooth operation of all functional processes. The internal organization of space plays an important role in this. The interior is the final addition to create an artistic image and overall harmonious composition. In the study, the functions of sacred architecture are determined: (commercial function, social/public function, religious function, etc.). It is determined that the church, as a building, is historically something more than a religious building. It is proposed to design the temple as multifunctional and to develop it not only as a religious building, but also as a public area. Recommendations on the architectural solution of sacred buildings are given, an overview of individual examples of modern sacred architecture in Lviv is given. The functional properties of modern churches in Lviv are analyzed.

Subjects of the Medieval Pskov Churches’ Tiles in the Perception of their Contemporaries

The article is devoted to the consideration of the subjects and artistic features of the architectural tiles placed on the Pskov Region’s Orthodox churches built in the 14th—17th centuries. The relevance of the article is determined by the increased interest in the history of the Pskov architectural school, the insufficient study, at the regional level, of medieval religious architecture in general and tile art in particular, which necessitated its in-depth study. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the classification and analogues identification of the subjects of the architectural tiles preserved on the walls of the medieval Orthodox churches in the Pskov Region, which is one of the earliest ancient Russian centers for the production of tiles. The article provides a detailed description of previously unpublished images of tiles from Pskov churches and highlights the peculiarities of their perception. By the nature of the images on the tiles, there are distinguished the following groups: geometric, floristic and ornithomorphic ornament, subject compositions. The most widespread in Pskov was floristic ornament, which includes images of grapes, cornflowers (carnations), flower rosettes, flowerpots with various types of flowers, herbal curls, “Flourishing Heart” and “Tree of Life” patterns, as well as ornithomorphic ornaments with images of peacock, turkey, nightingale and other birds. There is a single geometric triangular ornament on the porch tiles of the narthex of the Theotokos-Nativity Cathedral of the Snetogorsky Monastery (the church of the 14th century is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, the porch is of the 17th century), and a subject composition of a horseman on the walls of the bell tower of the Peter and Paul Church of the former Sirotkin (Seredkin) Monastery of the 16th century. There are also unique tiles with a centaur on the Church of St. George from Vzvoz of the 15th century (included in the UNESCO World Heritage List). Made by Old Russian masters of tile art, the subjects reflect the Christian polysemous symbolism, the laconicism and generalization of the images, the harmonious composition and coloristics of the tiles. The visual perception of architectural tiles influences people, transmitting, in a symbolic form, the picture of the world, spiritual values and meanings of Russian culture from generation to generation.

This activity is a vehicle for realizing mutual understanding between the team implementing the activity and the metal music group Djiwoastra, in order to strengthen each other’s potential for the challenges of musical works based on the internalization of diverse experiences. Community service activities that aim to solve problems in balancing the aesthetics of music between West and East have been achieved to some extent by strengthening the trans-medium composite technique of Javanese vocal forms such as Senggakan, Gerongan, and Balinese Kecak which are packaged in a gregorian choral style, which can become a new techniques mastered by partners to develop subsequent works

Means of harmonization of composition and optimization of the design of photographic images

The subject of this research is such a means of harmonization of composition of the image in a plane as the contrast. The article assesses the possibility and factors of using contrast for increasing the attractiveness of the designed photographic image. The author reviews the examples of photo images with appropriate use of contrast; provides the research data on the perception[WU1]  of contrast by human visual system.; explores correlation between contrast and the conditions for a harmonious composition; as well as reviews the connection between the properties of compositional elements of photography and the components of visual perception, discovered by R. Barthes in his work “Camera Lucida”. The author carries out the analysis of photographic images; compares the empirical data on the study of perception of contrast by a human; applies the methods of induction and deduction in analyzing the acquitted results and comparing them with the characteristics of a harmonious composition. The author’s special contribution consists in comparison of the results of empirical research of perception of contrast by a human in the context of dependence of the sensitivity of human visual system on the size of observable alternating contrast lines and the size of the dominant in relation to the image field object of composition. It is proposed to use high contrasts of the elements of detail drawing for reaching harmonization of composition of the designed image elements.  [WU1]

The Symbolic Regionalism on The Architectural Expression Design of Kupang Town-Hall

This study aimed to explain the synthesis design approach of the architectural expression in the Town Hall building of Kupang city. This is necessary due to the need for Town Halls, as public facilities, to reflect technically correct building standards, environment, and the aspects of political symbolism. Kupang Town Hall design uses the roof image expression of the Timor, Flores, and Sumba ethnic architecture in a harmonious composition and this means it is an example of an ethnic architectural synthesis in a modern building which represents a function, meaning, modernity, and local cultural identity. This research employed the social semiotics method to examine the design in relation to the surrounding social life context and the design was found to be produced from the symbolic regionalism approach which involved mixing the architectural images of Timorese, Flores, and Sumba ethnicities to modernize and conserve ethnic architecture and represent the cultural identity of East Nusa Tenggara. This, therefore, means architectural synthesis methods which are established on the symbolic regionalism approach have the potential to be used in designing public facilities in different places of Indonesia to reveal local cultural identities in modern buildings through symbolism based on an ethnic architectural image.

L’esperienza del dolore e le ragioni della speranza. Riflessioni sulla recente evoluzione del dibattito giurisprudenziale in tema di dignità umana e fine vita

SOMMARIO: 1. Una premessa di metodo - 2. Giustizia limiti e sacralita del “fine vita” - 3. Tra indisponibilita della vita e diritto di autodeterminazione individuale. La prospettiva della Corte EDU … - 4. … e le prudenti soluzioni del diritto italiano tra leggi e prassi giurisprudenziale - 5. Considerazioni conclusive: esiste la liberta di congedarsi dal mondo? The experience of pain and the reasons for hope. Reflections on the end of life of postmodern man ABSTRACT: The surprising development of biotechnology, new knowledge and unprecedented possibilities of intervention on human beings, have strongly affected the natural events of being born and dying, bringing out new rights and new instances of protection, aimed at ensuring respect for individual self-determination and human dignity in the face of the increasingly pressing intrusiveness of science and technology. Nonetheless, these possibilities offered by science may, for some, not coincide with the ideal conception of life and human dignity, since these are interventions capable of prolonging survival in often very critical conditions, not always adequate to guarantee a life worth living. At this point, the question is whether there is a way to pursue a harmonious composition between the concepts of life and human dignity, in the extreme variety of cases where there is a question of their protection, especially with regard to end-of-life issues.

蘇軾과 黃庭堅 書의 形 · 神 硏究

There have been various discussions about form and spirit in the field of philosophy, religion, art, etc. from long time ago. Form and spirit are inseparable in calligraphy aesthetics, but spirit is more important than form. Forms of calligraphy are regular rules and harmonious compositions that rely on basic strokes. Spirit can be seen as the meaning and vitality expressed through forms. Song Dynasty is a turning point in the development of Chinese ancient calligraphy aesthetics. The calligraphers of this period pursued the style of "emphasizing the meaning" which is not bound by rules but represents the new meaning by following the nature. This concept with an emphasis on emotion, subjectivity and personality is expressed in their calligraphy. “Su Shi and Huang Tingjian of Song Dynasty” are the representatives.

ОСНОВНЫЕ ФАКТОРЫ В РАЗВИТИИ ИСКУССТВА МОНГОЛИИ В XX-XXI ВЕКАХ

The article provides an analysis of the modern Mongolian art development and identifies three key factors, which have influenced it. The first stage (the 1930-1990s) was characterized by the dominant influence of the Russian artistic school, after the 1990s the rapprochement of the Mongolian painters with the West European artists occurred. Since that period poly-stylism has become the basic distinctive feature of the Mongolian art. This artistic trend traces its origin back to the ancient and rich traditional Mongolian culture and Buddhist art. It has enriched the artistic language with images, colour schemes and harmonious composition, arrangement of artistic space, which is an inherent feature of the proportion system in so called iconometric compositions.

Архитектура Адмиралтейства в Санкт-Петербурге как основная часть девелоперского проекта рефункционирования судостроительной верфи

Отмечается несостоятельность представления о Санкт- Петербурге как о городе, «рождённом из пробирки», вся застройка которого выполнялась по заранее задуманному плану. Ландшафты исторического центра города формиро­вались в процессе изменения градостроительной ситуации на протяжении двух столетий. Одним из примеров является эволюция комплекса Адмиралтейства. Изначально постро­енное в качестве верфи, здание подверглось перестройке и приспособлению под новые цели в XVIII—XIX веках. Выявлена связь произведённых изменений с общим процессом разви­тия города, в частности, - с совершенствованием застройки центра и расширением судостроительного производства. К началу царствования Александра I Адмиралтейская верфь была затухающим производством, а для разрастающихся уч­реждений Морского ведомства требовались дополнительные помещения в центре города. Отмечено, что выполненная А.Д. Захаровым реконструкция была обусловлена финансовым лимитом, личными указаниями Александра I и опиралась на опыт, приобретённый зодчим при разработке проекта ком­плекса Академии наук на Васильевском острове. Обращается внимание, что параллельно с реконструкцией корпусов Ад­миралтейства проводились преобразования примыкающих к нему участков территории. Подчёркнуто, что преобразования, произведённые вокруг комплекса Адмиралтейства во второй половине XIX века, «затушевали» в городском ландшафте уникальный памятник русского ампира - главный фасад Ад­миралтейства. Сегодня главный фасад Адмиралтейства плотно прикрыт густой зеленью Александровского сада, разбитого в 1870-е годы. Высказаны предложения по формированию партерного сада вместо дикой массы стихийно разросшихся деревьев, созданию гармоничной композиции регулярного озеленения и величественной архитектуры.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE POWER OF THE A POWER ACTIVE FILTER BOOSTER TRANSFORMER FOR REGULATING OF THE NONLINEAR VOLTAGE DISTORTIONS COEFITIENT

Purpose. Investigate the parameters of the mode and distribution of the power of the transformer of the booster when adjusting the coefficient of the nonlinear distortion of the voltage.Methodology. Methods of electrical engineering, numerical simulation methods, Fourier series methods.Findings. The analysis of the transformer is carried out, the processes taking place in the transformer are considered, the filter model is developed in the visual programming environment, based on the analysis of which the application efficiency of the proposed solution is shown by the load voltage distortion. To assess the influence of the transformer on the operating mode of the device, a series of experiments was carried out. In the case of distortion of supply voltage, a serial active power filter is used that connects to the network through series transformers, which results in changes in the parameters of the equivalent power load circuit. As a result of the research it was established that the transformer of a series power active filter in the series mode, in case of compensation of voltage distortion of the network in general, has the voltage and current of the windings, the harmonic composition of which is different, this leads to a broad harmonious composition of the power of the transformer, which needs to account for the growth of losses in windings. and the magnetic circuit. The conclusions are drawn that to the effect of the parameters of the transformer on the operation of the active filter.Originality. For the first time a model of an equivalent force single-phase sequential filter has been developed, which, unlike the existing one, takes into account the effect of the series transformer on the parameters of the mode.Practical value. The internal resistance of the transformer and the load current lead to the emergence of voltage harmonics, which additionally affects its quality, and in the case of an experiment made up 2,35%. An increase in power losses in a transformer of a power active filter requires an adjustment of the method of its selection, taking into account distortion of voltage and current.

Eye Movement Correlates of Expertise in Visual Arts.

The aim of this study was to search for oculomotor correlates of expertise in visual arts, in particular with regard to paintings. Achieving this goal was possible by gathering data on eye movements of two groups of participants: experts and non-experts in visual arts who viewed and appreciated the aesthetics of paintings. In particular, we were interested in whether visual arts experts more accurately recognize a balanced composition in one of the two paintings being compared simultaneously, and whether people who correctly recognize harmonious paintings are characterized by a different visual scanning strategy than those who do not recognize them. For the purposes of this study, 25 paintings with an almost ideal balanced composition have been chosen. Some of these paintings are masterpieces of the world cultural heritage, and some of them are unknown. Using Photoshop, the artist developed three additional versions of each of these paintings, differing from the original in the degree of destruction of its harmonious composition: slight, moderate, or significant. The task of the participants was to look at all versions of the same painting in pairs (including the original) and decide which of them looked more pleasing. The study involved 23 experts in art, students of art history, art education or the Academy of Fine Arts, and 19 non-experts, students in the social sciences and the humanities. The experimental manipulation of comparing pairs of paintings, whose composition is at different levels of harmony, has proved to be an effective tool for differentiating people because of their ability to distinguish paintings with balanced composition from an unbalanced one. It turned out that this ability only partly coincides with expertise understood as the effect of education in the field of visual arts. We also found that the eye movements of people who more accurately appreciated paintings with balanced composition differ from those who more liked their altered versions due to dwell time, first and average fixation duration and number of fixations. The familiarity of paintings turned out to be the factor significantly affects both the aesthetic evaluation of paintings and eye movement.

A Suggestive Research on Innovative Design Algorithms Based on Application and Human Sensibility Technology

현재 미디어 문화는 다각적 측면을 아우르는 문화인식 체험과 경험을 바탕으로 빠르게 변모하고 있으며, 경쟁력 확보를 위한 새로운 디자인 기술 구축을 추구하고 있다. 이러한 측면은 특히, 시각으로 이루어진 미디어 매체에서 두드러지게 나타나고 있다. 이는 독창성과 개성을 살린 응용 기술과 감성 기술을 자아내는 새로운 유형 기반 즉, 디자인 메카니즘과 트렌드를 함축한 혁신적 기술 알고리즘 구축을 의미한다. 앞으로의 영상 제작기술과 구성은 질적 활용도와 가치 생산성 그리고 수용자 만족에 부응하는 디자인 표현이 기본적으로 내재 되어야 한다. 기대에 부응하는 새로운 스타일의 디자인 알고리즘 구축은 감성 표현과 기술력과의 조화를 통해 담아내야 하는데, 문제는 차별화된 감성을 지속적으로 담보해 내는데 있어 많은 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 감성적 측면을 이해하고 이면적 관점을 파악함으로써 수용자 요구에 부응하는 규격화된 워크플로우 생성을 구축해 낼 수 있을 것이다. 이른바 디테일한 표현을 통해 다가서는 기술방법과 창의적인 표현을 도출해 내는 방법을 구축함으로써 응용기술의 진화를 가능하게 해야 할 것이다. 다시 말해, 혁신적인 방안 마련을 위해 디자인 관련 교육 측면의 연관성과 활용도를 부각시킬 필요가 있다. 이를 통해 디자인 기술 즉, 융․복합 기술 표현 형태가 미치는 영향과 조화로운 구성을 확보하고, 시각적 실체로 전이되어야 할 것이다. 이러한 연구를 통해 감수성과 만족도에 대한 충만감 그리고 적절한 표현을 이루는 구성과 함께 실체화를 이루는 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 특히 응용기술의 범위 확대, 축적된 노하우기술을 혼합한 디자인 알고리즘 구축은 무엇보다 중요하다. 또한 표현에 있어 구체화를 위한 방안 모색을 통해 이를 실무에 구현해 낼 수 있는 표준설정이 요구된다. 물론 응용기술 성공여부는 수용자의 만족에 따라 성패가 결정 된다는 것이 가장 어려운 측면이다. 그러므로 감성적 측면과 표현력을 융합한 응축기술이 새로운 디자인 알고리즘 형태로 드러나게 된다. 이는 향상된 응용기술 이론이 지닌 진화된 혁신기술을 통해 디자인 표현 기술의 알고리즘을 확보한다는 것을 의미한다.Nowadays, media culture is rapidly changing through either physical or mental experiences for culture recognition embracing multilateral aspects and is in the pursuit of establishing new design technology to obtain competitiveness. This can be more noticeably found in the media consisting of visual features. This means the establishment of innovative technology algorithms implying brand new type bases leading to application technology as well as human sensibility technology equipped with originality and uniqueness which are design mechanisms and trends. In the future, image producing technology and its organization should be basically equipped with design expression corresponding to qualitative utility, value productivity, and receiver satisfaction. The establishment of new style design algorithms meeting the expectations should be realized through harmony between emotional expression and technological power, but the problem is that it is fairly difficult to secure differentiated emotion continuously. To solve this problem, it is necessary to understand the emotional aspects and figure out the hidden perspectives. By this, it will be possible to build up a standardized workflow satisfying receivers’ needs. By devising methods to draw technological means and creative expressions approached through so-called detailed expressions, we should make application technology evolve. In other words, to establish innovative methods, we need to highlight connectivity as well as applicability in the aspects of education related to design. Through this, we should figure out the effects of expressive forms of design technology, that is, convergent and complex technology, obtain harmonious composition, and transfer it to visual substance. With research on that, this author intends to suggest ways to realize fulfillment about sensitivity and satisfaction, composition that can lead to proper expressions, and also substantialization. It is particularly more important to widen the range of application technology, that is, to build up design algorithms combined with knowhow and technology accumulated. Also, about expressions, it is necessary to seek ways for concretization and set standards to actualize it in the field. Of course, the toughest part is associated with the fact that either success or failure of application technology is determined by a receiver’s satisfaction. Therefore, condensation technology combining emotional aspects and expressive power comes to be revealed in the forms of new design algorithms. This means that the algorithms of design expression technology come to be secured through evolved innovative technology that advanced application technology theories are equipped with.

르 코르뷔지에의 일본인 제자 3인의 주택에 관한 연구 : 마에카와 쿠니오, 사카쿠라 준조, 요시자카 타카마사의 초기 주택을 대상으로

This study investigates the early-period detached houses built by three Japanese followers of Le Corbusier. It shows the origin and essence of architecture by the three Japanese followers, who adhered to the principle of modern architecture and attempted to realize it in Japan. First of all, the characteristics of detached houses can be found from the traces of direct communion with Le Corbusier in the relationship with modern architecture. By adopting modern architecture, Kunio Maekawa and Junzo Sakakura also created a modern wooden house structure unique to Japan. Next, in the process of modernization, the adoption of Japanese building techniques and establishment of identity revealed the following characteristics: ① active acceptance of the design features of traditional houses; ② application of Japanese traditional window and door compositions to wooden structures through modern interpretations; and ③ harmonious composition of Western standing-style space and Japanese floor mat-style space. To incorporate Western modern architecture into Japanese detached houses, the three Japanese followers learned the principle of modern architecture from Le Corbusier, the best modern architect in contemporary times. Nonetheless, the integration of Japanese building techniques and modern architecture gave rise to unique architectural characteristics but still maintains contemporary features.
