Of Red Flags and Red Dragons: Welsh Labour History in Retrospect and Prospect

Welsh labour historiography has been dominated by the history of the south Wales miners, with the north Wales quarrymen occupying second place, and other groups of workers having received less attention. This is partly due to the dominant assumptions of labour historians which are tied up with ideas of modernization and universalism, and which have privileged anglophone accounts of the past. The Welsh radical tradition, although well explored and documented within Wales, has not been sufficiently recognized within narratives of British labour history. Rather, the emergence and subsequent dominance of the Labour Party has tended to occlude an earlier, vibrant, and diverse Welsh radical history. Now, half a century after the professional organization of Welsh labour historians, thoroughgoing deindustrialization and political devolution have created a new context for a new generation of labour historians who have no direct memory of a Wales dominated by heavy industry. This provides both challenges and opportunities. Welsh and British labour historians have much to gain by developing a closer relationship, and this will involve striking a careful balance between universalist and particularist interpretations of labour’s Welsh history.

Alternative to Big Bang Requires Seemingly Impossible Physics

Is there a reasonable alternative to the theory of the expanding universe? The idea of an eternal universe is highly speculative and doesn't quite fit with our current understanding of the universe's origins, such as the Big Bang theory. Any idea that has been around for a century cannot be easily dismissed but the James Webb Space Telescope is casting potential doubts on the Big Bang. If this continues, we may well find ourselves in need of another theory explaining cosmic origins. This submission begins with the “advanced” waves that aren’t scientifically popular because they travel back in time and seem to violate the laws of cause and effect. However, the Nobel-winning physicist Richard Feynman loved them and used them to explain antimatter. And this submission will propose that all time in the past, present, and future is united into one thing and causality need not be considered a problem. It then uses readshift, aka re(tarded)-ad(vanced) shift, to suggest the universe is static and supports that conclusion by a revision of electromagnetism which, thanks to George Yuri Rainich, includes gravitation. This is followed by an alternative to the Big Bang where, seemingly impossibly, the infinite and eternal universe is created using pi, imaginary time, virtual reality, augmented reality, quantum and macroscopic entanglement. Finally, to better explain the unification of everything in time and space, is a shortened section on what is called vector-tensor-scalar geometry which talks about the Higgs boson/field and was inspired by a 1919 paper published by Albert Einstein.

A grid-level segmentation model based on encoder-decoder structure with multi-source features for crop lodging detection

Crop lodging assessment plays a critical role in acquiring accurate information regarding the location and area of lodging, which is essential for loss assessment and adjustments of harvester parameters. In this paper, we proposed LDVO (Lodging Detection with Visible-image Only), a comprehensive grid-to-grid semantic segmentation method for timely and accurate identification of crop lodging. The LDVO model uses Inception block and dense connection to construct a lightweight feature extraction network, and complements the texture feature and crop vegetation indices as reference features for semantic segmentation. Besides, the model meshes the aerial images according to the operation characteristics of the harvester, and the accuracy of the segmentation task is reduced from the pixel level to the grid level, which minimizes the network scale and computing cost under the premise of meeting the accuracy requirements of lodging detection. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed LDVO model over mainstream semantic segmentation networks in terms of processing speed and model parameters. Remarkably, the LDVO model achieves the highest prediction accuracy of 94.86% by leveraging a combination of RGB semantic features, VIs and texture features. Therefore, the proposed LDVO model provides a fast, feasible and low-cost reference for monitoring crop lodging status in complex field environments. It also offers a universal idea for the improvement of semantic segmentation network in special application scenarios.

Концептуальные основания философии международного права

Introduction. The multidimensionality and plurality of doctrinal sources of the science of international law require a philosophical understanding of the main issues of international law. This is also due to the transitive nature of the current international system. Purpose. To define the conceptual framework for the subject field of the philosophy of international law. Methods. The research uses the general scientific methods of historicism, systematics, and analysis, as well as the comparative law method. Results. It is argued that the historical and conceptual (thematic) frameworks for the philosophy of international law can act as separate directions for meta-research. Conclusions. One of the central categories of the subject field of the philosophy of international law is the concept of international law awareness. The subject field of the philosophy of international law is formed taking into account the historical and conceptual limitations of the idea of universality in the structure of international law studies, as well as their metatheoretical orientation.

Reformation of Indonesian Insolvency Regulation on Execution of Cross-Border Assets Based on the European Union

The current possibility of hassle-free negotiations and transactions across countries allows international trade to be a significant source of profit for businesses in Indonesia. In the process, businesses are often exposed to risks of insolvency for being unable to repay debts. An insolvent debtor owning assets in other countries shifts the case to a cross-border insolvency case. As there is currently an absence of cross-border insolvency regulation in Indonesia, this paper therefore aims to reform Indonesian insolvency regulation through analyzing and applying learning points from the European Union’s success in managing cross-border insolvency. This paper identifies as legal normative research and is done through prescriptive analysis. The data used is secondary data obtained through a literature review, which includes primary and secondary sources. This paper uses the statute approach and will be analyzed qualitatively. Through the discussion, it is suggested that Indonesia adopt several relevant aspects of the EU regulation. To ease implementation, Indonesia should consider moving towards the reformation as a part of ASEAN. Alternatively, Indonesia can also independently engage in bilateral or multilateral treaties. To add on, Indonesia should advance from the idea of absolute territorialism or absolute universalism and instead seek to implement modified universalism in its cross-border insolvency regulation.
 

A speaking silence: “universal language” and multilingualism in The Shape of Water

Framed by Guillermo del Toro as “a love letter to the cinema,” the academy award-winning feature The Shape of Water (2017) speaks to one of the core debates in film studies: film’s status as a “universal language.” Paradoxically both propagating and critiquing this idea of universality, a vast knowledge of film history, cinematic techniques, and a desire to create what the director calls a “cinematic Esperanto”—or a globally legible film tradition—informs a film that celebrates the multiplicity of “languages” possible in film as a medium. Reading The Shape of Water as a series of films-within-films—fantasy within realism, black-and-white within color, and a silent film within a “talkie”—I reveal the myriad communicative forms accessible within cinema as a visual, temporal, and mobile medium. The foregrounding of “a speaking silence” in the interactions between the mute Elisa and the Amphibian Man, a pre-linguistic, but communicative, sea creature, acts as a set piece—a silent film within the larger film proper—that celebrates the universal language of gesture, while the situation of this nested narrative within a larger film tradition of “talkies” speaks to the ultimate displacement of the fantasy of universality by the adoption of the voice in film. Through a close attention to film stills, the formal composition of scenes, and the sparse, multilingual dialogue, I examine The Shape of Water’s critique of a monolingual “universal” filmic language and celebration of the radical multilingualism possible in the cinema.

An Implication of Cannibalism Motif in “the Myth of Seolmundae-halmang” of Korea

"Cannibalism" is widely regarded as an absolute taboo for cultivated humanity. Not only does the bare citation of the word" cannibalism" and encountering images about this subject make utmost people extremely uncomfortable. Nonetheless, the “ cannibal motif ” exists in humanities folk literature, and why is it being repeated in modern literature, media, and culture? If humanity can achieve a sense of spiritual satisfaction or there's a universal idea that desperately wishes to partake through such a horrifying motif, what kind of content can it be? When trying to address this curiosity, there's an interesting text which is worth noting. It's “ the myth of Seolmundae- halmang( Grandma Seolmundae) ”, which is being passed down on South Korea's Jeju Island. Seolmundae- halmang was worshipped as the creator goddess of Jeju Island, yet in the stories about her death, she's eaten by her own sons. Why did this goddess have to experience such a terrible death? Also, if “ myth ” contains motifs of universal human life, what was the content that Jeju Island's mythology group wanted to share through the death and devouring of the goddess? To find answers to these questions, several former studies on the conception of cannibalism were examined, thereby the aspects of cannibalism that was in human life was verified. As a result, the cannibalistic motif of this myth confirmed that the endo-cannibalism concept of the primordial mythology enthusiasts group was the result of the divine succession process from Seolmundae-halmang to her sons. Furthermore, when interpreted in the context of symbolism for human reality, it is also revealed that children who have grown up at the expense of their parents have embodied the universal and realworld principle of human life in which they realized their parent's sacrifices and inherited their lives. The significance of such research results can be recognized for investigating the mythological meaning and value of cannibalistic elements of the Seolmundae-halmang myth. This allowed us to reveal the meaning and value of one of Korea's major mythological materials more fully, as well as confirm the universal value of Korea's mythological materials.

미술 창작 분야의 학습윤리 교육을 위한 미술 표절 논란 사례 분석 연구

This study is a basic study for learning ethics education in the art creating field, and to understand the types of plagiarism and considerations by type that can be used in learning ethics education in the art creating field, cases of plagiarism in the art field were considered. Through case-by-case categorization, similarity judgment requirements embodied in the art creating field were derived. As a result of the study, first, it was confirmed that it is necessary to consider whether there is a possibility that the same expression and method occur repeatedly in the type of ‘significantly intentional similarity’ that can be seen as plagiarism. Second, in the type of 'similarity due to the identity of the object to be expressed', it was confirmed that it was necessary to first consider whether it was similar due to the factual description of the same object and whether it was an area of universal ideas. Third, in the 'similarity due to the identity of materials, it should be considered whether it is a problem raised simply by the use of the same material and the use of materials of simplified abstract forms. Fourth, it was confirmed that in the type of “similarity due to the universality of objects and compositions,” the possibility of proof of key creative elements existing in previous works should be considered first. Fifth, in the type of 'similarity due to appropriation', the judgment on whether a new meaning of creation is established compared to the original work and whether it is intentional and public should be considered first. Sixth, in the type of 'transformed similarity', it has been confirmed that a careful approach is needed considering the context of the author, focusing on overall concept and feeling-oriented judgment.

Knowledge-Based Religious Behavior: From Philosophical Critic towards Synergy in Diversity Amidst the Anthropocentrism Era

This study is conducted to criticize religious behavior in recent times. This study aims to answer the problem of how to create togetherness by synergy (ukhuwah) mobilizing all components in the context of life in a nation and state. The data of this study were obtained from library sources by applying a library research model with an interdisciplinary approach. The results of the study showed that universal ideas about diversity can be accepted by every intelligent human being. Moreover, there are three main conditions to implement them (universal ideas about diversity). They are; first, Maximum mastery of science and knowledge. Second, Justice reinforcement for human equality. Third, total submission and self-approach to God Almighty. Religion is the most precise medium to describe the true nature of humanity because religion does not only talk about physical things but also beyond human physics. Therefore, a human must understand that togetherness is realized based on humanity, understanding universal values and similar points of diversity, sharpening the function of mind via philosophical practice approach as a method of thinking, mobilizing ukhuwah as the part of net-working the people, and synergize the dimension of heaven and dimension of earth toward intellectual and social piety.

Лосев Алексей Фёдорович

Alexei Losev (10[22].09.1893, Novocherkassk – 24.05.1988, Moscow), Russian philosopher, philologist and writer, is the creator of a unique religious-philosophical system, which combines the reinterpreted tradition of ancient and medieval thought (Plato and Neoplatonism, Christian apophatic theology of Dionysius the Areopagite, Gregory Palamas, Nicholas of Cusa), the methodology of New European philosophy (German classical idealism, neo-Kantianism, phenomenology of E.Husserl) and the problems of New European philosophy (German classical ideal-ism, neo-Kantianism, phenomenology of E.Husserl) and the problems of Russian religious philosophy of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, from V.S. Solovyov (the idea of universalism) to P.A. Florensky. In the constructive design of Losev’s system the central place is occupied by dialectics, in the multidimensional construction of which each category and all of them together are worked out in the light of each other. Losev’s personalistic ontology is the basis of his philosophy of language (naming as an interpretative - communicative self-discovery of personality), philosophy of myth as a distinctive form of personal worldview (myth as directly experienced and created reality, symboli-cally expressed), and aesthetics (artistic form is “personality as symbol and symbol aspersonality”). Losev was the founder of the philosophy of music in Russia. His multi-volume history of ancient aesthetics represents the history of the entire ancient culture revealed in its symbolic-expressive aspects. The works of Losev, are presentative of the last generation of the Silver Age of Russian culture, became a kind of completion of Ortho-dox religious philosophy in Russia in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Elevating Aesthetics: Patient-Specific Treatment with Hyaluronic Acid Fillers to Improve Appearance and Psychosocial Wellbeing

Perception of beauty is changing from a rigid concept (i.e., the universal idea of beauty) to a multifaceted and personalised view of one’s appearance. One of the main concerns of patients is looking artificial and losing their unique facial expressions, which encourages them to seek aesthetic procedures that yield the most natural results. Patients also wish to increase their self-esteem and, ultimately, improve their quality of life. It is now well-established that treatment with hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal fillers improves the psychosocial state of patients. The assessment of facial anatomy and patient needs, accompanied by the proven holistic benefit and good safety profile of HA dermal filler treatment, is also a key factor for an optimal outcome. In addition, clear communication between patient and physician is crucial to manage patient expectations, maximise satisfaction, and minimise procedural risks. The availability of a wide range of HA dermal fillers, customised for specific anatomical areas and facial movements, allows physicians to develop patient-specific treatment plans. This review of the ‘Elevating Aesthetics’ symposium held at the International Master Course on Aging Science (IMCAS) 2023 shares insights into the patient’s facial anatomy and possible danger zones presented during a cadaver workshop. Several successful treatment plans tailored to different patient profiles (i.e., patients seeking full-face aesthetic improvement, patients with facial asymmetry, low lip volume in mature and millennial women) were also implemented live. A comprehensive and patient-specific HA dermal filling treatment should be considered by physicians to achieve natural outcomes and improve the general wellbeing of the patient.

Chinese Cultural Tradition and Cosmopolitanism

Cosmopolitanism is an ideal, not a reality. It's a decentralized theory, not a systematic theory. It has many different names. From the ancient to the modern times, it has been increasingly perfect and close to realization. It has been partially fulfilled in the world. Confucius once advocated "great harmony with the world". Sun Yat-sen carried forward the concept of "the world for the common good"，and he absorbed the "universal ideas" of Western socialists. The idea of "world government" was formed in recent times. It was the ideal of our sages to organize a "union of sovereign states" to jointly maintain peace and eliminate war. This article is just to sort out the idea of the unity of the world, without any practical suggestions. This is a theoretical idea, not a practical one. Chinese scholars in modern times studied western ideas and then used them to examine Chinese classics to find new ideas. By combing through old papers, they gained a lot and were able to enlighten the people. We should have a grand vision, facing the world more advanced thinkers broad spirit.

Observation of magnetic structural universality and jamming transition with NMR

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been instrumental in deciphering the structure of proteins. Here we show that transverse NMR relaxation, through its time-dependent relaxation rate, is distinctly sensitive to the structure of complex materials or biological tissues at the mesoscopic scale, from micrometers to tens of micrometers. Based on the ideas of universality, we show analytically and numerically that the time-dependent transverse relaxation rate approaches its long-time limit in a power-law fashion, with the dynamical exponent reflecting the universality class of mesoscopic magnetic structure. The spectral line shape acquires the corresponding non-analytic power law singularity at zero frequency. We experimentally detect the change in the dynamical exponent as a result of the transition into maximally random jammed state characterized by hyperuniform correlations. The relation between relaxational dynamics and magnetic structure opens the way for noninvasive characterization of porous media, complex materials and biological tissues

L’universalisme proportionné, un outil pour améliorer la santé des minorités LGBTI

The design of health policies must be guided by the imperative of sex and gender inclusiveness in order to advance the health of all. Classically conceived from the idea of universalism, the French conception of health policies is however often categorical when it comes to questions linked to sex and gender, even though health topics are rarely specificaccount. This article examines this tension in the design of public policies that can improve the health of sexual and gender minorities, between "neutral" or "universal" policies and categorical, "sexed" or "gendered" policies. The report Sex, Gender and Health published by the HAS in 2020 bears this conviction that concerning sex, gender and health, the principle of proportionate universalism is the most suitable for improving the health of all, without prejudice but also without privilege, nor for the general population, nor for the minorities that compose it. The authors question the design of public health policies with regard to sexual and gender minorities, seeking the relation between the preservation of the general interest and special interests. It is therefore a question of using the concepts of "sex" and "gender" as levers for improving the health of all, and not as tools for defining categorical policies.

ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION OF THE IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST IN THEDIVAN “THE WILDERS OF END” BY ALISHER NAVOI

This article is devoted to the problem of interpreting the image of Jesus Christ (Iso Masih) in the lyric couch of the “Curiosity of the End” (“Navodir un-nixoya”) by Alisher Navoi. It analyzes the motif of the revival depicted through the symbolic image of Jesus in the poet's lyrics. However, attention is paid to the image of the image of Christ, which was considered the universal ideas of the poet and humanistic views.

The Interaction of Law and Morality in the Process of Their Transformation

The article is devoted to the main regulators of social interaction in the states of the past and present: morality and law. The first, having receded into the background in the process of social development and giving way to law, continues to significantly influence the development of social relations. The analysis of the interrelation of these most important elements of human culture in the process of regulating social relations, their impact on each other and on society, testifies to the ambiguity of such influence. The law, which does not adequately take into account the requirements of morality and ethics, leads to the formation of undemocratic political regimes and arbitrary power, incompatible with modern ideas about the well-being and stability of society and the state. At the same time, the maintenance by law of ideological values masquerading as moral imperatives is a way of managing society based on the manipulation of mass consciousness. The fundamental values that guide society in its development are formed not only under the influence of factors of economic and cultural reality, but also under political concepts and ideological paradigms. Unfair use of the dialectical connection between law and morality serves, as a rule, the narrow-group interests of a few social strata that play key roles in states. The social purpose of the law is not limited to the regulation and protection of certain social relations. The law mediating the interest of citizens is obliged to protect society from the impact on it of various ideological, moral and other interpretations of reality that do not correspond to universal ideas about personality, freedom, justice, equality and other phenomena of the surrounding reality inherent in a modern developed state.

The Role of the United Nations as a Defender of Human Rights: A View from Albania

Background: Every millennium, decade, and century, as well as every passing day, humanity wakes up with a dream of a ‘new world’, a world without wars and bloodshed. Despite this thousand-year-old dream, wars and their devastating consequences hang menacingly over humanity’s head like the sword of Damocles. For this reason, wars have been and will remain a key focus of researchers and philosophers. By studying the numerous causes and consequences of war, the necessary measures to guarantee security and peace worldwide can be determined. Although human society strides towards prosperity, the likelihood of war has not diminished but continues to threaten, with unparalleled ferocity, the existence of human life, peace, and security. The numerous agreements and treaties, both bilateral and multilateral, between different states have only temporarily avoided the outbreak of conflicts and wars. Therefore, the concepts of peace, defence, and the prevention of war remain at the centre of research today. Research works in these fields are geared towards a universal idea: ‘the protection of basic human rights’. Methodology: This paper’s research methodology involves analysing data on the role of the UN as a defender of freedom and human rights. To achieve this, an extensive literature review was conducted. The review covers literature sources in both Albanian and foreign languages, written by well-known authors and provides a large amount of information and thoughts on the topic under consideration. The authors of some of the used works include Thomas Hobbes, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, John Locke, Brian Tamanaha, Alexis Tocqueville, and Servet Pëllumbi. The research was conducted step-by-step and argument-by-argument using the logic of reasoning and the analysis of ideas. The relevant research works relate to the UN’s role as a provider and guarantor of human rights and freedom. Results and Conclusions: In the opinion of the UN, the concept of democracy is closely related to the concept of protecting peace, freedom, and human rights. This is also the reason why the UN cannot remain indifferent in the face of cases of violation of freedoms and human rights under the pretext of respecting ‘state sovereignty’. The UN is today’s most important and powerful organisation for protecting human freedoms and rights, world peace, and international security. Based on the above discussion, a democratic society is nothing but the result of new relations between the power and freedom of an individual. ‘Human rights and freedoms’ do not constitute a mere bureaucratic formula but a request of the people for the development of the society in which they live. They resemble a ‘spiral’ that has only ascended since various theorists first presented their ideas on ‘human rights’. Infringement on human rights would simultaneously mark the infringement and the end of democracy itself.

Symbolism in Philippine Religious Movies

This paper analyzes Philippine-movie Director Laurice Guillen’s movies, Tanging Yaman and Santa Santita, by using the Mythological Approach. Guided by the principles of this particular approach in literary criticism, the study identified the symbols and archetypes found in the selected movies to infer the universal ideas and human tendencies that manifest the cultural and religious realities of the Filipinos. Giving emphasis to Northrop Frye’s theory of un-displaced myth, the study found, through a literary analysis of the movies, that two opposing worlds can actually co-exist in one archetype, as seen in the repentant sinners, whose willingness to admit their sins paves the way for them to regain the graces of heaven.

Intellectual Dead Ends of Slavophiles and Westernizers: Alexender Herzen’s Decision

In one form or another, discussions between Westernizers and supporters of Russia’s ‘Sonderweg’ have been going on for about two centuries. The author states the limitations of these two positions – both Eurocentrism, with its too linear view of world history, and ‘Slavophilism’, fraught with isolationism and rejection of universal values. The paper shows that a productive strategy for reconciliation of the two designated positions was outlined by Alexender Herzen (1812–70). Firstly, the thinker preferred talking not about Russian uniqueness, but the specifics of Russia within the framework of the worldwide process, combining in his concept the universal idea of social emancipation based on Russian authentic institutions. Secondly, Herzen builds his socio-political doctrine on the critique of Europe, which is conducted, however, from the standpoint of universal values of freedom and equality. Thirdly, Herzen selectively refers to the national tradition – appealing to Russian institutions such as the peasant commune (obschina), guild (artel’), veche, Cossack self-government, he simultaneously opposes any apology for Russian history and historical heritage as such. From his point of view, in some cases, tradition can and should be overcome. According to the author, Herzen's intellectual legacy remains relevant in the context of contemporary discussions about Russian identity.
