ФОРМУВАННЯ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНОЇ ГРАМОТНОСТІ МАЙБУТНІХ УЧИТЕЛІВ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ МОВИ І ЛІТЕРАТУ

The article substantiates the need for purposeful formation of information literacy of future teachers of Ukrainian language and literature, as it plays a significant role in shaping the professional competence of future teachers of that subject. It was found that information literacy includes the ability to effectively search and use sources and information, systematize it, the ability to distinguish plagiarism, distinguish facts from judgments, the ability to hypothesize and evaluate alternatives, and adhere to the principles of academic integrity. The features of formation of information literacy of future teachers of Ukrainian language and literature in the context of classroom and extracurricular work on various normative and selective disciplines of general and professional training cycles («Modern children’s and adolescent literature», «History of Ukrainian literature», «Methods of teaching Ukrainian language» , “History of the State and Law of Ukraine”, “Fundamentals of Academic Integrity”) were distinguished. A system of tasks for the formation of information literacy is suggested, in particular: checking the authorship of quotations and proverbial expressions, a quiz about Taras Shevchenko’s monuments in the world, searching for images on the Internet and preparing historical or cultural commentaries, recognizing orders and medals through online services of independent Ukraine, creation of posters, videos, infographics, icons on linguistic and literary topics, analysis of scientific publications and their discussion, creation of presentations and drafting codes of honor for students of the academic group. In the context of the study, such forms and methods were used as brainstorming, the tree of assumptions, the ladder of success, cubing, knowledge maps, trainings, with the help of which the formation of information literacy of future teachers of Ukrainian language and literature was achieved. It is noted that the formation of the studied phenomenon was carried out within the framework of non-formal education - in the format of participation of students in the grant program for information media literacy «Information media literacy: learn yourself - teach others» international project «Learn and distinguish: Research and Exchanges” (IREX) with the support of the British and US Embassies in Ukraine in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the Academy of the Ukrainian Press. The results of the participation were presented by students within the “Relay of Champions”, as well as presented by teachers in the manual “Guide to information literacy for students and teachers of modern educational institutions: a workshop”.

ISLAMIC CRIMINAL LAW ON JARIMAH ZINA'S TESTIMONY: UNCOVERING THE CONFLICTS BETWEEN SHARIA DOCTRINE AND REALITY

The purpose of this study was to examine the orientalist N.J. Coulson's point of view on the discrepancy between the doctrine of Sharia and reality in the case of adultery in the evidence of a witness. This research was qualitative in nature and employed a descriptive normative juridical technique to answer the research questions. Documenting data, conducting data analysis through reduction, presenting data and drawing conclusions were all examples of data collection techniques. With regard to the testimony of adultery, the researcher aimed to uncover and then offer evidence regarding the disagreement between Sharia doctrine and reality in order to better understand the phenomenon. Based on the findings of the study, it could be stated that Islamic Sharia is a Sharia that places a great value on human honor, and that hifz al-irdh was one of the maqashid sharia, or honor code. With the introduction of hifz al-'irdh, the Islamic Criminal Law had strengthened the requirement for four witnesses to testify in an adultery case. This was also consistent with the punishment for adultery, which might range from stoning to death. However, the criticism levelled against N.J. Coulson regarding the seeming conflict between Sharia doctrine and reality in terms of the strictness of testimony was essentially incorrect, as Islamic law granted the privilege of maintaining human honor (hifz al-'irdh) rather than a conflict.

Recent Work on Moral Revolutions

AbstractIn the last few decades, several philosophers have written on the topic of moral revolutions, distinguishing them from other kinds of society-level moral change. This article surveys recent accounts of moral revolutions in moral philosophy. Different authors use quite different criteria to pick out moral revolutions. Features treated as relevant include radicality, depth or fundamentality, pervasiveness, novelty and particular causes. We also characterize the factors that have been proposed to cause moral revolutions, including anomalies in existing moral codes, changing honour codes, art, economic conditions and individuals or groups. Finally, we discuss what accounts of moral revolutions have in common, how they differ and how moral revolutions are distinguished from other kinds of moral change, such as drift and reform.

Identity Choices Among Romanian Officers in the Habsburg Army

"In recent times, the identity of the Habsburg military has been the subject of numerous studies aiming to explain the behavior of this social-professional category. However, in Romanian historiography, research on this subject is almost completely lacking. The present work aims, first of all, to open the historiographical discussion on the identity choices of Romanian soldiers and officers in the Habsburg army. Alongside national identity and dynastic loyalty, frequently addressed in historiography, special attention should be paid to other types of loyalties or identities, developed within the military environment and related to the appropriation of a well-defined code of honor. It was in this context that the officer’s honor, transformed into a military identity, took shape, as well as other types of attachments, such as that to the state, which is different from dynastic loyalty, or that to the territory. Last but not least, this paper also focuses on how all these different identities are harmonized into multiple identities, defining the behavior and actions of the soldiers of the multinational Habsburg army. Keywords: Habsburg Army, Romanian militaries, military identity, supranational identity, multiple identities "

Dueling and the Fantasmatic Specter of Male Honour in Imperial Germany: The Kaiser’s Will and Theodor Fontane’s Effi Briest

Underneath the historiographical disagreements about military honor and dueling in Imperial Germany there lurks a consensus that most duelists simply internalized the dictates of honor. This article troubles that presumption by attending to the Prussian-German military honor code’s mixed messages and impossible demands, which I interpret through Slavoj Žižek’s concept of a fantasmatic specter. After analyzing a variety of military texts, I illustrate the value of a psychoanalytic approach via a case study and re-examination of Theodor Fontane’s novel Effi Briest (1894/95).

Analysis of Directive Ethical Requirements of the Notary's Professional Activity in the Context of the Neuroethical Approach to the Formation of Legal Norms

The article is devoted to the analysis of directive ethical requirements, the content of the professional activity of a notary in the context of the neuroethical approach to the formation of legal norms. In the context of neuroethics, it is determined that values are inherently internal motivations formed by the evolution of natural processes, the essence of which is that everything that received a kind of natural right to appear, has the potential for self-realization. The prospect can be realized if a person feels this evolutionary help and consciously / deliberately makes choice in a way that indicates his or her inner aspirations, not external requirements. The article determines the factors of formation of the «code of honor» in the professional activity of a notary. Thus, the key aspects of the neuroethical manifestations of determining the internal attainment of morality, the rules of conduct in society during the notarial procedure are identified. The study examines the concept of neuroethics and knowledge of the law as factors in shaping the socio-legal behavior of the notary in social life. The philosophical approach to the formation of the values of the notary requires the application of the basic essence of the dialectical methodology of cognition. The article reveals some aspects of a more dialectical understanding of the principles of independence, legality, objectivity, confidentiality, conscientiousness, and honesty. The analytical and research method was used in the article. Synthetic and analysis methods formed the main results of the study, which show that neuroethics determines the personal normative behavior of the notaries in their professional activities.

Implementasi Pendidikan Agama Islam Melalui Metode Kepramukaan di Madrasah Aliyah Ma’arif NU Doplang

The similarity between scouting values and the 2013 curriculum allows the application of both simultaneously, especially in Islamic education. The scouting method is an interactive and progressive way of learning that includes aspects of obeying the code of honor, learning by doing, group system, attracting and challenging, adult presence, open nature, and a sign system of skills relevant to Islamic religious education. The purpose of this study was to determine, analyze, and describe the application of scouting methods and scouting method strategies that were used as the implementation of Islamic religious education at MA Ma'arif NU Doplang. This research is a qualitative research postpotivism. The research subjects were students of class XI-IPS Madrasah Aliyah Ma'arif NU Doplang Blora Regency in the 2021/2022 academic year, totaling 23 students. The object of research includes the understanding and obedience of students in carrying out Islamic religious law according to the standardization in the scouting curriculum and the core competencies of spiritual attitudes in the 2013 curriculum in class XI. The data presented in this study uses observational data collection techniques that involve scout coaches and religious group subject teachers, direct observation, and observation of documents for achieving General Proficiency Requirements (SKU) as well as the syllabus for Fiqh and Akidah Akhlak subjects. The data obtained were analyzed using case study data analysis techniques. The agreement between the scout coaches and subject teachers has made the output of scouting activities recognized as the result of PAI field activities at MA Ma'arif NU Doplang.

The essence of the category "integrity of military officials"

The article is devoted to the definition of the essence of the virtue of military officials.
 It was found that the tightening of requirements for the level of legal consciousness, legal culture, law-abidingness of representatives of public authorities is a global trend today. In most civilized democratic countries, a number of restrictions and prohibitions have been established for persons who perform the functions of the state, including for military personnel. The introduction of free access to declarations of persons authorized to perform the functions of the state or local self-government, an increase in attention to the observance of the rules of academic virtue indicate an increase in ethical requirements for the behavior of representatives of the security and defense sector in Ukraine.
 The need to implement the above provisions to ensure the good behavior of military officials requires the creation of an administrative and legal mechanism, with the help of which the goals declared by the rule-maker could be translated into the plane of real legal relations. This requires a revision of the provisions of acts of military legislation, which reflect the principles and standards of conduct of military officials, especially those related to relations with the civilian population, as well as the implementation of actions in the performance of their duties that may contain corruption risks.
 The virtue of military officials can be considered in several aspects, each of which emphasizes the importance of the phenomenon under study for solving the problems of improving the effectiveness of the functioning of the security and defense sector. In the legal aspect, the virtue of military officials is a set of legal prescriptions that establish their duties, as well as prohibitions and restrictions on their behavior that accompany the entire period of military service. In the information aspect, this type of virtue means the existence of a procedure for disclosing certain information and data about military officials (in compliance with the legislation on the protection of personal data and the requirements of the legislation on state secrets). In the moral and ethical aspect, the virtue of military officials presupposes the existence in society of an established position regarding the inadmissibility of corruption and other manifestations of impiety by persons in military service. In the value aspect, the phenomenon under study means the establishment of high moral qualities and intolerance to corruption as values of society, which are reflected in ethical codes, codes of honor and other documents independently developed and approved in individual professional communities. In the activity aspect, the virtue of military officials can be viewed as a complex of actions, consisting of two main categories: a) those that a soldier is obliged to implement while serving; b) those from which the soldier must refrain.

Leveraging the Honor Code: Public Goods Contributions under Oath

Public good games are at the core of many environmental challenges. In such social dilemmas, a large share of people endorse the norm of reciprocity. A growing literature complements this finding with the observation that many players exhibit a self-serving bias in reciprocation: “weak reciprocators” increase their contributions as a function of the effort level of the other players, but less than proportionally. In this paper, we build upon a growing literature on truth-telling to argue that weak reciprocity might be best conceived not as a preference, but rather as a symptom of an internal trade-off at the player level between (i) the truthful revelation of their private reciprocal preference, and (ii) the economic incentives they face (which foster free-riding). In truth-telling experiments, many players misrepresent private information when this is to their material benefit, but to a significantly lesser extent than what would be expected based on the profit-maximizing strategy. We apply this behavioral insight to strategic situations, and test whether the preference revelation properties of the classic voluntary contribution game can be improved by offering players the possibility to sign a classic truth-telling oath. Our results suggest that the honesty oath helps increase cooperation (by 33% in our experiment). Subjects under oath contribute in a way which is more consistent with (i) the contribution they expect from the other players and (ii) their normative views about the right contribution level. As a result, the distribution of social types elicited under oath differs from the one observed in the baseline: some free-riders, and many weak reciprocators, now behave as pure reciprocators.

Honor Codes and Academic Integrity: Three Decades of Research

In 1993, McCabe and Treviño published a seminal paper in which they proposed that honor codes reduced academic misconduct among college students. I review the research on honor codes that has emerged in the last 30 years. The extant body of literature demonstrates the efficacy of honor codes in creating and maintaining a culture of academic honesty and integrity in institutions of higher education. Although the findings are nuanced, honor codes appear to work by educating students about academic integrity and holding them accountable through social norms, expectations, attitudes, reminders, and clear policies for addressing academic misconduct. Directions for future research are proposed.

‘Until the Whole World Tilts’: Injustice, Coercion and Resilience in Lisa Ray’s Close to the Bone

Violence against women is an attempt to control women—the purpose of abuse is not so much to inflict pain as to establish relations of dominance and submission. The patriarchal code of honour and shame advocates violence as the demarcating feature between men and women. It also absolves men of their complicity in using violence as a method of reinforcing societal and cultural norms and of using it as a means to send a message. This article highlights and explores the social forces of inequality, economic arrangements, violence and individual complicity in violence in Lisa Ray’s memoir Close to the Bone (2019). Men in Lisa’s life engage in not only violence but also ‘coercive control’, as defined by sociologist Evan Stark. Their actions subjugate Lisa to an alien will by violating her physical integrity (domestic violence), denying her respect and autonomy (coercion), isolating her from social connections (isolation), as well as confiscating or denying her access to the resources required for personhood and citizenship (control). The gender-specific reading of Lisa’s memoir facilitates a discussion on various forms of violence that targets women and the symbolic connotations behind these acts. Arguably, the article, taken in its entirety, allows for a more nuanced understanding of how women’s bodies and sexuality were, and are, either controlled or subjugated in patriarchal societies. Lisa—the narrator-protagonist, plays with the concepts of the individual and the collective, suggesting that women experience violence collectively rather than individually: a threat of violence against one is a threat against all.

Analysis of the Effectiveness of a General Education Course in Personality Education Centered on Ethics of Life Practice －Case Study in S University

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a general education course in personality education centered on ethics of life practice within personality education at universities. The subject of the S Honor Code course attempted to cultivate global citizens with a good personality to adapt well to the future society by examining ethical norms to be observed in college life and daily life and practicing them in real life. The subject areas covered in this course are distinguished from other universities' personality education in the areas of life, such as cyber ethics, study ethics, human rights ethics, family ethics (parent-child relations, marital relations), interpersonal ethics (dating relationships, communication), and Christian ethics. The ethics in life were practiced in the students’real life.</br>The effect of improving personality and core competency was confirmed based on the response data of 86 students taking the S Honorary Code course and 29 students taking the elective course. This study confirmed that the S Honor Code course, centered on ethics of life practice, had a positive effect on the students' personality development in all areas of cognition, emotion, and behavior. It also contributed to the improvement of core competencies in critical thinking/problem solving, creative thinking, communication, cooperation, and learning capabilities.</br>Personality education centered on life ethics not only fosters knowledge of personality virtues but also provides opportunities to practice ethics in school, at home, and in society. Thus, it can be applied as a new form of personality education and provide implications for how personality education develops in the future.

Daily Reports of Aggressive Behaviors in Interpersonal Conflicts.

Interpersonal conflicts are inevitable, but the probability that conflicts involve aggressive behavior varies. Prior research that has tended to focus on victimization in intimate partnerships reported through retrospective designs. Addressing these limitations, the current study examines daily reports of behaving aggressively in any conflict across relationships in a sample of 512 young adults drawn from the nationally representative iCOR cohort. Respondent attitudes and affective measures were collected at the end of the daily data collection period. Regression methods were applied to examine the probability and frequency of aggression, investigating early and recent exposure to adversities, attitudes, self-control, affect and emotional states, and alcohol use behavior. Recent adversities and the propensity to endorse a defensive honor code attitude, consistent with theory and retrospective studies of aggression, predicted both prevalence and frequency of aggressive behavior. The associations of childhood maltreatment and self-control with the prevalence of behaving aggressively were as expected, but these constructs were significantly associated with the frequency of aggression with unexpected, inverse directionality. Moreover, respondents' affect and other emotional states were only associated with the frequency, not the prevalence, of aggressive behavior. Overall, this daily data collection constructively distinguished risk and protective factors for behaving aggressively more often. Further research is needed to disentangle the extent to which affective states drive or is a consequence of frequent aggressive behavior.

Zambra, Codes of Honor, and Moorish Dress: Transculturation in Calderón’s Love after Death

This paper will offer a reading of Calderón’s Love after Death (Amar después de la muerte) that is removed from the binary opposition between Christianity versus Islam, which premise readings of the text as a pro-morisco play, and focuses on teasing out nuances of transculturation inherent in the text. At pivotal moments in the play, the morisco and the “pure” Christian are simultaneously presented in opposition and equality to one another in their shared adherence to a strict moral code of honor, which is arguably a Christian contribution to Spain’s hybrid culture. The cultural hybridization of clothing and costume points to the unreliability of visible signifiers that distinguished the morisco from the “pure” Spaniard and as a result, brings forth the difficulties Spain had in self-identification in opposition to the morisco. The only real signifier – the Arabic language – is linguistic, although it is clear many words from Arabic made their way into Spanish. Read in the context of a text produced in a Spain that was located at the border between purity and hybridity and between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe, it can be argued that the representations of cultural practices in Calderón’s re-imagination of the rebellion of Alpujarras, bring forth evidence of a gradual process of transculturation between the moriscos and Christians and shed light on Spain’s almost desperate attempt to fight that process. Through this lens, the conflict between the moriscos and the Christians appears to have been conceived in the struggle against external forces that relegated Spain to the periphery of Europe. As a result of anti-Spanish prejudices of the leyenda negra that identified “Spanishness” with “Moorishness,” Spain was at once the colonial center in relation to the Americas and the New World, and simultaneously, Europe’s very own morisco “other.”

“My Honor is My Life”: Sturm Brightblade of the Dragonlance Saga and Middle English Arthurian Knighthood

Arthuriana has a long history of adaptation and appropriation in medieval and contemporary works, and the tradition of such textual borrowing and reworking continues in contemporary “genre” novels, particularly those that invoke associations with knights, honor, and codes of chivalry. One such example are the novels and short stories of the Dragonlance setting. Sturm Brightblade is positioned as a knight who adheres to a code of honor and is given Arthurian character traits, narrative arcs, and a backstory by the various authors that have fleshed out his history. The texts in the Dragonlance setting knowingly use appropriated elements from Middle English Arthurian works and assign them to Sturm Brightblade to give him proper positioning as a knight that would fit in with Arthur’s legendary Round Table.

After a Post-Heterosexual Mormon Theology: A Ten-Year Retrospective

After a Post-Heterosexual Mormon Theology: A Ten-Year Retrospective

The Ghost Club, 1882–1936

AbstractThe Ghost Club was founded to discuss matters spiritual, psychic and occult in 1882 by Spiritualist William Stainton Moses and mystic Alfred Alaric Watts. It was intended as a club ruled by a gentleman’s code of honour—with all matters discussed kept strictly confidential. While maintaining secrecy, it also obsessively minuted and documented its discussions, leaving behind thousands of pages of records that have yet to be properly investigated, owing to conditions around their use. This essay is an attempt to examine the importance of the Club, and how it might readjust our understanding of the networks of the London occult in the late-Victorian and Edwardian eras.
