The impact of socialisation services in the whole process of agricultural production on food security—quasi-natural experimental evidence from China

Food security (FS) is an important guarantee for world peace and development and the basis for building a community of human destiny, which has a bearing on the sustainable development and future destiny of humankind. This study empirically analysis the relationship between socialisation services in the whole process of agricultural production (ASS) and guaranteeing FS, as well as the path of their role, using provincial panel data from 2010 to 2022 in China as an example, using the double-difference method. The regression results show that ASS can have the ability to contribute to the level of FS, and the conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests. The results of the heterogeneity analysis show that the role of ASS in guaranteeing FS receives the influence of the level of agricultural development in each region, while it plays a greater role in the main food-producing areas. The mechanism analysis analyses the mechanism of the role of ASS in the whole process of agricultural production in guaranteeing FS from the three links of pre-production, mid-production and post-production respectively, and finds that ASS in the whole process of agricultural production is able to guarantee FS by reducing the cost of purchasing means of production in the pre-production stage, fostering a new type of agricultural management main body in the mid-production stage, and increasing the income of farmers’ household management in the post-production stage. Based on the above findings, this study proposes corresponding policy recommendations. This study can provide insights for ensuring world FS and contribute to maintaining social stability and development. The conclusions of the study are universally applicable, and all countries in the world can benefit from and draw lessons from it.

A meeting place for faces and souls

The function of architecture is to be a meeting place, signifying a contact in the realm of destinies. Cities, squares, intersections and houses are subjects of social and existential communication. Today, news, events and trade go into the virtual space of planetary or regional life, so cities with their squares, intersections and houses are becoming knots and seams of this fabric. But architecture as a “thing made of stone” has not lost its significance in the formation of cultural meanings and human destinies.

The 'Myth' of the Clash of Civilisations: Intercultural Communication and Reconciliation

The theory of the Clash of Civilisations, which posits the existence of irreconcilable contradictions and conflicts among civilizations, has a positive significance; however, this viewpoint fails to acknowledge the commonalities and interdependence among civilizations. This paper begins by examining the genesis and evolution of the Clash of Civilizations Theory, encompassing a review of its theoretical underpinnings and practical ramifications. It then delves into the ongoing debate surrounding the Clash of Civilizations Theory and the perspectives of prominent scholars. Subsequently, the paper introduces the distinction between cultural differences and the clash of civilizations and analyses the relationship between the two. Subsequently, the concept of cross-cultural communication and reconciliation is introduced, and the ways in which the clash of civilizations may be mitigated by promoting dialogue, understanding, and cooperation among civilizations are discussed. In conclusion, the paper puts forward solutions that are currently being implemented, such as the concept of building a community of human destiny, with the aim of promoting cross-cultural communication and reconciliation. This will provide inspiration and guidance for the creation of a harmonious global society. Furthermore, the paper anticipates the future development of civilizational symbiosis and emphasizes the necessity and possibility of establishing harmonious international relations.

Fratelli tutti e Solidariedade Global

The text aims to understand the evolution of the term “solidarity” within Pope Francis’ magisterial theology until the writing of the encyclical letter Fratelli tutti. Enriched with the global adjective, the term solidarity for Francis is translated as a real and profound critique towards global divisions and inequalities, in the pursuit of an inclusive and empathetic love inspired by St. Francis of Assis. Therefore, the idea of solidarity that seeks to become “global” is not reduced to charitable aid only, but must be concretized as co-participation in the pain and common destiny of humanity. The encyclical proposes a “social friendship” that recognizes the dignity of all, seeking to transcend polarizations and ultranationalisms. Francis seeks the promotion of forms of dialog between local and global instances, avoiding abstract universalisms and/or stagnant localisms. His theological vision emphasizes interconnectedness and mutual responsibility in the building of a just and fraternal global community.

Sensuality and Spirituality in the Novel Crossroads Jasmine Musabegović

This essay follows Fatima (Fata), the protagonist of the novel Crossroads within the context of contemporary criticism, which essentially identifies all types of novelistic prose with a certain note of dialogism. In the role of mother and wife, the main character's communicative position directs the idea pattern of the novel from the external to the internal dialogue with herself. Fatima, wrapped in the mantle of an absolute subject, in the general chaos of war and existential paradox, transcends the role of victim and passive witness of the pogrom and through spiritual healing becomes an actor in the struggle. In the cognitive structure of the novel, the author breathes into her protagonist the knowledge that human destiny is almost always subject to the discursive power of intuition. And this undoubted power is given to people as a means and a rare possibility to overcome chaos.

From Dissonance to Harmony with Nature: A Material Ecocritical Reading of Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony

Although much has been written about Silko's Ceremony, little attention has been paid to reading the novel from a material ecocritical perspective. This study employs material ecocritical theory to expound the representations of humans, flora and fauna in Silko’s Ceremony, and how these entities are agentic and capable of producing meanings, communicating with each other, and altering the course of events in the novel. Influenced by new materialisms and the work of two leading theorists, Serenella Iovino and Serpil Oppermann, who co-edited a book entitled, Material Ecocriticism (2014), this new wave of ecocriticism highlights the importance of reading matter in texts or/and reading a matter as a text. The study argues that, in Ceremony, all Tayo’s relationships with nature, including springs, landscapes, animals, and humans, in which he remembers his relationship with his belated uncle Josiah and his cousin Rocky, narrate an experience of a story that can be viewed as storied matter. The study concludes that everything in the world that is presented in the novel is interconnected, entangled, and enmeshed in a complex network of relations and one should respect and regard the environment because human destiny is intrinsically interrelated with the destiny of the world.

Vigorous Leaps and Tragic Falls: Bodies in Distress in Kleist and Schiller

Comparing Schiller and Kleist, this article deals with a new pattern of movement that dynamizes dramatic action at the end of the eighteenth century. In Schiller’s tragedies, stage directions call for physical performances that both accelerate and interrupt the tragic course. More specifically, they unfold the tension between leaping and falling and explore the relationship between the concept of life and tragic downfall. Drawn to their tragic fates, Schiller’s heroes at the same time “jump up” and show a resiliency and elasticity that at least potentially escapes the tragic script. In Kleist, too, falling and leaping shape human destiny. But while in Schiller leaps and falls are opposed to each other, Kleist blends them into a single downward movement onto the stage of life, a movement that precedes dramatic action and defines our being in the world right from the start. Only in Penthesilea do leaping and jumping resist tragic forces and show that in the face of tragedy, creation continues.

«Кто мы»: цивилизационные идеи классического евразийства и их эволюция

Classical Eurasianism inherited the “genes” of Slavic resistance to the European cultural monopoly, it offered its own view on the typology of civilizations and geopolitics and created its own political philosophy. Based on criticism of the universality of Western civilization, classical Eurasianists put forward the concept of Russia as a unique Eurasian civilization and gave their answer to the questions “who are we?” and “where are we going?” L.N. Gumilev, who called himself “the last Eurasianist,” became the author of a civilizational theory in which geographical features corresponded to certain characteristics of civilization, at the same time his views were based on geopolitics and on the desire to rethink the concept of the Russian spirit. Classical Eurasian political philosophy is closely related to the problem of choice that Russia is now facing; it offers its own view of the roots of Russian civilization, being a direct ideological predecessor of neo-Eurasian political philosophy. Its research has positive implications not only for Russia in its fight against historical nihilism and in restoring its national identity, but also for providing reference for the self-cultural construction of all ethnic groups in the process of globalization. The concept of community of human destiny put forward by China advocates taking into account interests of other countries when pursuing its own interests, and promoting the common good of all countries in the pursuit of own development, which may provide reference for the theoretical construction of Eurasianism.

“The Ballad of War” by Oleksandr Bilash as a National Example of the Mono-Opera Genre

The Ballad of War mono-opera (1971) by the outstanding Ukrainian composer-songwriter Oleksandr Bilash, based on The Ballad of Genes poem by Ivan Drach, is studied in the article. It is emphasized that the work of O. Bilash – I. Drach is extremely relevant today, as it reveals the painful and tragic theme of war and its destructive impact on human destinies. It is defined that O. Bilash’s mono-opera has become a part of a general trend in the Ukrainian musical theatre of the 1960s–1970s associated with the tendency to chamberization and psychologization of opera. It has caused the exceptional popularity of the one-act monodrama genre among contemporary composers (V. Hubarenko, H. Zhukovskyi, Y. Ishchenko, etc.). It is described that I. Drach’s poetic text is used as the basis for the mono-opera with minor modifications (the changes have affected the title and only a few phrases). The structure of the poetic text has a significant impact on the composition of the mono-opera (the central episode is the protagonist’s story about the circumstances surrounding her birth, the extreme sections contain her beloved addresses). The connection between the opera’s system of leitmotifs and key phrases in the poetic text is detected. The leitmotifs are important in cementing the form of the mono-opera – it is in their repetition that the unifying role of the principle of through refrain is revealed. The Ballad of War contains two figurative and intonational spheres of war (scherzo, sharp dissonance, cluster consonances, chromatisation, grotesque syncopated rhythms, «cold» orchestral origin) and peace («warm» vocal origin, ariosity, melodic recitative, songfulness, vocalisations, luxurious Bilash’s melodies). O. Bilash has used various household genres actively: alullaby (an image of the incessantness of Life), a march («military» heroics), a cancan (personification of the image of aggression and spirituality), a Boston waltz (lyrical reflection and psychological solution). The composer uses the technique of stylizing church singing. The technique of sound imitation (movement of a steam locomotive, steam claps) is equally important. O. Bilash’s The Ballad of War mono-opera is a bright, original work and plays an important role in the development of the mono-opera genre both in the composer’s heritage and in Ukrainian music of the 1960s–1970s in general.

Toward a Theology of Compassionate Release: Orthodox Christianity and the Dilemma of Assisted Dying. Confronting End-of-Life Realities with Faith and Compassion

This article examines the subtle interconnection between the sanctity of life and individual autonomy within the context of assisted dying, as seen through the lens of Orthodox Christianity. It seeks to unravel the complex theological, ethical, and pastoral considerations that inform the Orthodox stance on end-of-life issues, particularly the nuanced understanding of suffering, death, and the redemptive potential encapsulated within them. Orthodox theology, with its profound veneration for life as a divine gift, offers a counter-narrative to contemporary discourses that often prioritize personal autonomy and the alleviation of suffering above all. This tradition emphasizes the transformative power of suffering when united with Christ’s own redemptive suffering, proposing a vision of end-of-life care that is rooted in compassion, dignity, and hope for resurrection. The exploration begins with a historical and theological examination of the Orthodox perspective on life’s sanctity, engaging with the teachings of Church Fathers and contemporary theological and bioethical discussions. It highlights the foundational concepts of Orthodox anthropology, which perceives human beings as an indivisible unity of body and soul, reflecting the imago Dei. This anthropological understanding challenges reductionist views of human existence and informs the Orthodox approach to medical ethics, palliative care, and the spiritual accompaniment of the dying. By critically evaluating arguments for and against assisted dying, the article presents a balanced discourse that respects the depth of individual suffering while upholding the intrinsic value of life. It argues that Orthodox Christianity, through its rich theological heritage and pastoral practice, provides a compassionate and ethically nuanced framework for navigating the moral complexities of assisted dying. This framework advocates for an end-of-life care that honors the fullness of the human person, supports the spiritual journey toward eternal life, and fosters a communal embrace of life’s sacred threshold, offering a dignified passage that aligns with the faith’s deepest convictions about human destiny and divine grace.

An Analysis of Trade Protectionism from the Perspective of the Community of Human Destiny

With the continuous advancement of the process of trade globalization, free trade has become the dominant form of today's world economic system. However, it cannot be ignored that trade protectionism still exists and has gradually risen in recent years. The rise of trade protectionism, to a certain extent, has caused disorder in the international trade order and intensified trade frictions between countries, which fundamentally violates the objective law of the development of global economic integration. As a big country with a sense of responsibility, it is necessary for China to put forward China's plan to guide and resolve this problem in a targeted way from the perspective of the community of human destiny.
